Report: The 5 main benefits you can expect from migrating your app to cloud CI

Our research finds that leaving Jenkins behind results in a higher return on investment, thanks to predictability of resource requirements and freed-up capacity. Read our new report focusing on the business impact of switching to cloud-based CI.

Most mobile engineers know that Jenkins was not built with mobile in mind. Maintaining on-premise hardware easily adds up to at least 10% of a developer’s time. Lost connection, debugging, and waiting for updates can take valuable hours of productivity away from the entire team. Taking all these things into account, not only does Jenkins turn out to be time-consuming, but quite expensive as well.

It does not come as a surprise that more and more teams are choosing cloud-based alternatives for their mobile apps. To help you evaluate the impact of the migration, we surveyed hundreds of developers from our userbase and talked to experts from companies like EPAM, Nextdoor, Pulselive, Compass, Signify, and more.

Some of the key findings of our research:

89.8% saw a performance increase after moving from Jenkins to a cloud-based CI tool
91.3% said they spend time on building automation, improving process and performance, or creating new features, instead of firefighting Jenkins
Multiple teams reported strengthened DevSecOps processes after the switch
