Build Hub self-serve is live: bring us your slowest build

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.

Why WebSockets beat SSE for AI streaming at scale

Picture a support agent mid-refund: it has pulled the order, flagged the tool call, and is one approval away from processing it. Then the user needs to approve it. On Server-Sent Events (SSE), there's no channel for that approval to reach the agent, because the connection only carries data one way - from server to client. A WebSocket keeps that connection open in both directions instead, so the approval could reach the agent the moment it's given.

Scaling Borderlands 4: Cloud Builds, CI/CD, and the Hidden Costs of Success

Three years after discussing Gearbox's cloud-based build pipeline with the P4 team, Steve Fortier and Phillip Peterson return to share what happened as Borderlands 4 grew from a secret project into a live game. As the team grew to support more branches, patches, and ongoing content, they encountered new challenges in P4, AWS, TeamCity, and Unreal Game Sync that only emerged on a massive scale.

Post-M&A Data Integration: How Real Estate Companies Consolidate Data After an Acquisition

A real estate acquisition often brings another data environment with it. That can mean a second CRM, a second PMS or ERP instance with its own chart of accounts, and a second set of property and client IDs that were never built to reference each other. Add in a spreadsheet or two, built to keep the two businesses reporting the same numbers in the meantime, and the picture gets messier still.

Best Practices for Modernizing Your Payment Investigation Process with AI

AI agents are proliferating faster than most institutions can govern them and the primary challenge is quickly becoming an "accountability gap." Disconnected pilots rarely scale into accountable, auditable operations. The financial services industry is currently at a tipping point: banks must bridge the gap between initial AI enthusiasm and operational reality.
