State of App Development in 2019

In 2019 we spent a great deal of time visiting developers that use Bitrise, traveling around the globe with cross-functional teams, and continued talking to a lot of companies developing mobile apps. We also regularly analyzed a ton of behavioral data to understand how we could improve Bitrise to give the best experience for mobile developers. We've drawn our conclusions and thought it would be interesting to break them down into numbers and share the big picture with you.

I’ve often heard developers use this during code reviews when simple optimization techniques are pointed out.

Why we've decided to make an ungated Rookout Sandbox

A long time ago (in April 2019), in a galaxy far far away (in Tel Aviv, Planet Earth) we launched a self-serve option. Users could now sign up to Rookout without having to contact us first.

Real-time log aggregation with Flink Part 1

Many of us have experienced the feeling of hopelessly digging through log files on multiple servers to fix a critical production issue. We can probably all agree that this is far from ideal. Locating and searching log files is even more challenging when dealing with real-time processing applications where the debugging process itself can be extremely time-sensitive.
