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.
