Case Study: Tandem Diabetes achieves nearly 2x faster iOS builds with MacStadium

Tandem Diabetes speeds iOS builds by nearly 2x with MacStadium

Tandem Diabetes, a manufacturer of innovative insulin pumps, faced challenges with stability and speed in its iOS continuous integration (CI) environment. Their initial setup of self-hosted Mac minis led to unreliable builds, and while moving to GitHub's hosted runners improved stability, it resulted in slow and cost-prohibitive build times. This prompted their search for a better solution with vendor MacStadium.

By implementing a private cloud of MacStadium's hosted bare metal Macs, Tandem Diabetes achieved a stable and fast CI environment. This solution nearly doubled their iOS build speeds, reducing average times from 40 minutes to 21 minutes. The MacStadium environment provided the reliability and performance needed to significantly boost developer productivity and confidence in their build process.
