Weekly mobile releases have become reliable and pipeline incidents have dropped dramatically
The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point. Mac build machines are considerably more expensive than Linux equivalents. As our team has grown, the monthly bills have scaled accordingly with limited room to optimize without reducing concurrency. The self-hosted runner option was evaluated as a potential cost-saving measure, but the documentation and tooling for it are still less mature than the cloud product. Build debugging remains a log parsing exercise. There is no interactive debugging session or live SSH access into a failing build environment, which would be a meaningful productive improvement. The analytics dashboard is very minimal and basic and lacks the depth that anyone would want for capacity planning and trend analysis.

Everything can be visibly managed, scheduling and state management features are pretty good
We've integrated it with source control management tools like GitLab and Bitbucket. The scheduling and state management features are pretty good using Spacelift. It integrates with tools like Terraform and Kubernetes for policies, but we haven't worked on the compliance part. Spacelift streamlines collaboration among our development and operations teams. We use it for CI/CD as well. It can handle automation strategies. Whenever you put your YAML files and integrate them with Spacelift, it will scan the code and show where you need to make changes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Within three months of going live on Bitrise, we moved to weekly releases, and now we have a reliable hotfix pipeline that can ship a production build within 45 minutes to an hour of a fix being merged."
"Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use."
"Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use."
"With Bitrise, as a team of 10 to 12 people, we are able to independently generate the build and save overall 20 to 40 hours per day."
"One key feature is the Spacelift policies, which we can attach to deployments to ensure compliance with our standards."
"A valuable feature of Spacelift is that you can attach labels, and it is a modernized tool for infrastructure deployments. It is pull request-based, and you can see all the Terraform plan and apply logs on the pull request itself, which is not available across any other CI/CD tools."
"Knowing the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) makes it easier to use without issues."
"Spacelift is like an extension of Terraform, where everything can be visibly managed."
"I appreciate that I just have to connect to my AWS account with my credentials, and Spacelift handles the rest."
 

Cons

"The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point."
"Bitrise has to work more on the error part. Sometimes I face issues when I trigger a build to generate, and I get a build failed without getting the proper log, which sometimes makes the user too annoyed."
"One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds."
"One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds."
"In the free version, there's no straightforward way to be notified once a deployment is finished."
"If you are a small enterprise organization, below 500 people, I would not recommend it."
"Spacelift currently lacks features that can help with complex type deployments and coordination for major deployments."
"The self-hosted version does not have a lot of features compared to the SaaS version, such as cloud integrations for Azure and GCP."
"Synchronization can be difficult when using older and newer versions with Kubernetes and HashiCorp."
