That's Nathan Hillyer, Director of Engineering at ForeFlight, on what happened after his team started running their GitHub Actions workflows on Bitrise Build Hub. Until last month, trying that for yourself meant talking to sales first. That’s fine for a 300-person engineering org evaluating a CI overhaul, but it made no sense for the two-pizza team that just wants to know whether changing one line of YAML will meaningfully speed up their Xcode builds. That's fixed.

At Bitrise, we continually invest in security best practices to ensure that our customers' data stays safe and secure. As part of this ongoing effort, we are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed our 2026 SOC 2 Type II assessment, with no exceptions recorded in the final report. The report covers the period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 and is valid until June 30, 2027.

Namespace, Avrea, and Blacksmith are among the fastest GitHub Actions runner providers on the market right now. According to Avrea's August 2026 benchmarks, they all score within about 1% of each other on raw CPU. The same benchmark shows warm builds (populated cache) beating GitHub's default cold start (cache disabled) by anywhere from 5x to more than 140x, depending on the project.

Count how many times you’ve proudly submitted a new PR only for CI to fail for the most mundane and annoying reasons: While these lint rules are useful and important to enforce, would it be possible to just…not have to deal with them? Enter auto-fixing CI, the concept of self-healing PRs and CI workflows, without any human (or agent) interaction: The key detail that enables all of this to work: modern linters can apply trivial and mechanical fixes to most lint violations.
