Case Study: Faire automates mobile releases and reduces manual work with Runway

Faire automates 100% of mobile release tasks with Runway

Faire, a digital wholesale marketplace, faced the challenge of a release process filled with manual tasks and custom scripts that consumed engineering time and created cognitive load. This manual work prevented the mobile team from focusing on their core mission of building features. They sought a solution to automate their release process end-to-end.

The vendor, Runway, implemented its automation platform to manage Faire's entire release sequence, from branch cuts to app store submissions and rollout progression. By using Runway's Flightpaths workflow builder, the team automated almost every step, ensuring releases happened on schedule without manual intervention. The solution allowed the mobile engineers to stop thinking about releases and refocus on development, with one engineer noting it was a significant improvement over their previous scripting.
