Frequently Asked Questions

What is DevOps?

DevOps stands for “development operations”. DevOps is best understood as a set of work practices that grew out of the need to connect the silos of software development and IT operations. The work of a DevOps engineer typically focuses on automating, standardizing, and integrating processes across all the teams in an organization and across the entire development lifecycle. As a methodology, DevOps takes an end-to-end view of software development, builds in mechanisms for collaboration across teams, and fosters a culture of shared responsibility for the quality, security, and speed-to-market of new products and features. You can learn more in our guide to DevOps and CI/CD in mobile development.

What is the difference between CI/CD and DevOps? 

CI/CD is the technical process that enables the goals of DevOps. CI/CD refers to the specific set of tools and processes that allow engineers to automate and accelerate software development and release. DevOps encompasses CI/CD, plus the broader practices and culture that enable development teams to ship code fast without compromising on quality or consistency. DevOps engineers are typically responsible for setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines. However, companies that don’t have dedicated DevOps engineers will often use platforms like Bitrise to create robust CI/CD pipelines without needing deep infrastructure or DevOps knowledge.

What does CI/CD stand for?

CI/CD stands for “Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment”. Basically, CI/CD is an umbrella term for all the practices and tools that automate the process of building, testing, and deploying new code.

What is a CI/CD pipeline?

A CI/CD pipeline is a series of chained workflows that automate the path from code commit to production. Every time a developer commits their code, the pipeline is triggered and the code is automatically run through a standard set of tests and quality checks. With Bitrise, you can quickly build a complete CI/CD pipeline by assembling your workflows from our 400+ mobile-optimized Steps and then chaining these together in a pipeline, all using our simple drag-and-drop editor.

Why is CI/CD important?

CI/CD allows developers to ship quality apps faster, speeding up development without compromising on code quality. A strong CI/CD pipeline will catch bugs early, reduce manual errors, shorten feedback loops, and create shared standards across teams and products. This leads to fewer deployment errors, more consistent releases, and better collaboration. Strong CI/CD is particularly important in mobile development, due to the complexities of managing specialized tools and build environments, meeting iOS and Android requirements, and running tests on a wide variety of real devices and emulators.

Why is DevOps more complex for mobile?

Mobile development has unique complexities that generic CI/CD tools weren't designed to handle, such as: 

  • Specialized build environments. iOS and Android each require specific toolchains and dependencies that need constant updates, especially with Apple's frequent Xcode releases.
  • Code signing. Managing certificates, provisioning profiles, and device registrations is complex and error-prone, and can break your entire build if configured incorrectly.
  • Testing. Validating across dozens of device types, OS versions, and screen sizes is exponentially harder than testing across browsers on the web.
  • App store deployment. Navigating Apple's App Store Connect and Google Play Console, managing metadata and screenshots, and coordinating phased rollouts adds layers of manual work and context-switching.

All of this creates friction that slows teams down and pulls engineers away from actually building features.  Mobile-first platforms like Bitrise eliminate this overhead by handling the mobile-specific complexity out of the box.
