Bitrise
VerifiedDevOps · bitrise.io
Overview
Bitrise is a cloud-based CI/CD platform purpose-built for mobile app development, automating build, test, and release workflows for iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps. It offers managed macOS and Linux build machines, a visual workflow editor, and 300+ integration Steps, with an Enterprise tier that supports dedicated or self-hosted AWS build agents.
The problem Bitrise solves
Mobile teams struggle to maintain macOS build infrastructure and to automate the fiddly, error-prone steps of building, code-signing, testing, and submitting iOS and Android apps to the app stores. Bitrise solves this with managed build machines and a visual, low-setup workflow builder plus native store-deployment integrations, so teams can ship daily without owning CI hardware. It is aimed at mobile-focused iOS/Android and cross-platform teams rather than web/backend-only shops.
