🗓 **Date**: Tue, August 5, 2025

🕓 **Time**: **4:00 PM CEST** / **10:00 AM EDT**

With mobile app development, every second counts. Building and testing Android and iOS apps brings unique challenges that can slow down teams, increase costs, and delay critical features. 

A lack of insight into app activity and context-dependent issues leaves you in the dark about what really frustrated your users, or how to fix it. But with the right CI/CD strategies and observability practices, **you can transform your development cycle** for **maximum speed and efficiency.**

Join us for an in-depth conversation with experts from Bitrise and Embrace as we explore advanced CI/CD techniques and how connecting these strategies to real production data helps teams iterate smarter and deliver faster.

You’ll learn how to:

*   ▶️ **Use remote caching** and **parallelization** to drastically reduce CI times
*   ▶️ Identify and **eliminate pipeline bottlenecks** with key metrics and feedback loops
*   ▶️ **Enhance productivity** by integrating AI into your CI/CD pipelines
*   ▶️ **Capture vital production data** from published mobile apps
*   ▶️ **Create performance metrics** reflecting the most important activity in your app
*   ▶️ Drill down into the **technical details of user experiences** to fix issues
*   ▶️ **Align CI/CD efficiency** with **user-focused observability** for better releases
*   ▶️ **Avoid common pitfalls** in mobile pipelines and observability setups
*   ▶️ Empower your dev team with **faster, more confident iteration cycles**

Whether you're optimizing existing workflows or starting from scratch, this session will equip you with practical tips to supercharge your mobile development lifecycle.


Boost mobile dev velocity with CI/CD & observability best practices

📅 **Date**: Thursday, July 24, 2025

🕓 **Time**: 4:00 PM CEST / 10:00 AM EDT

**What works for web won’t cut it for mobile CI/CD**

As DevOps continues to reshape software delivery, many teams hit a wall when trying to apply the same principles to mobile. From fragmented platforms to specialized tooling, mobile development comes with unique challenges that demand a tailored approach.

Join **Kaushal Vyas**, Senior Product Manager at Bitrise, and **Josh Walker**, Principal Software Engineer at BuzzFeed, for a hands-on look at how to bring DevOps discipline to mobile—without slowing down your team or adding unnecessary friction.

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes view of **BuzzFeed’s Mobile DevOps transformation,** including the cultural and technical shifts that helped the team scale mobile delivery, eliminate bottlenecks, and achieve faster, more reliable releases.

**💡 What you’ll learn:**

*   **Why traditional DevOps** approaches **fall short in mobile** environments
*   Specialized **infrastructure needs** for effective mobile delivery
*   **Purpose-built automation** for testing, code signing, and tooling
*   **Reducing the risk** of a faulty mobile app release 
*   The most common **DevOps anti-patterns** seen in mobile teams
*   Strategies to boost velocity, reliability, and feedback loops
*   How to **avoid the build-vs-buy trap** with purpose-built tooling
*   How BuzzFeed migrated **over 1,000 builds/month** to a scalable CI/CD system, **reduced manual QA time by 95%,** and enabled faster iteration through smart automation without sacrificing quality.


Bringing DevOps to mobile: Avoiding pitfalls and unlocking velocity

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look into how the Bitrise engineering team brought software and hardware together and **built a vertically integrated, hybrid macOS/Linux private cloud** in strategically located data centers to solve the biggest challenges of managing mobile CI/CD at scale.

As your mobile team grows, infrastructure complexity and headaches scale alongside them, including managing multiple rapidly changing CI environments, integrating caching to speed up iteration cycles, and skyrocketing cloud costs.

In this webinar, Arpad Kun, VP of Infrastructure and Engineering at Bitrise, will sit down with Solutions Architect Lex Zavala to reveal how our team addressed the pain points of traditional cloud-hosted CI and how Bitrise went all-in on a **hybrid model**—anchored in custom-built infrastructure.

What we’ll share: 

✅ Vertical integration benefits: How complete control of hardware and software stacks translates to faster, more reliable builds for your team.

✅ Intelligent caching architecture: How placing cached artifacts on the same switch fabric as compute resources dramatically reduces build times for your workflows without breaking the bank with cloud egress costs.

✅ Remote Build Execution (RBE): How we implemented a sophisticated approach to distributing build tasks across multiple machines to accelerate build times.

✅ Carrier-class networking: The reliability of carrier-class network infrastructure, including our own AS number and provider-independent IP space. 

✅ Purpose built architecture: How our physical infrastructure choices—like high-density server chassis housing for mac Minis—directly impact the performance and reliability of CI pipelines.

Whether you're a platform engineer, a mobile developer, or a CTO, this webinar offers valuable insights from an organization that's been through the trenches.
