CI/CD Build Speed Benchmark: Codemagic vs GitHub Actions vs Bitrise

For teams using CI/CD, the specs of the build machine can have a significant impact on development productivity. Faster builds mean shorter fix-and-verify cycles, which speed up the overall development process. However, it’s hard to know how fast each CI/CD service actually is without comparing them under the same conditions. In this article, I compare the iOS build speeds of GitHub Actions, Bitrise, and Codemagic using the same Flutter project, and compare them in terms of cost-performance as well.

Jenkins vs Codemagic: Why Mobile Teams Are Making the Switch

If you’re a mobile developer running builds on Jenkins, you already know the drill: a flaky agent goes down on a Friday afternoon, your Xcode version is three months behind, and the DevOps engineer who set the whole thing up left six months ago.
