GetYourGuide moved from a popular CI-as-a-Service to MacStadium bare metal Mac cloud compute to speed up pull requests and release testing times, eliminating bottlenecks from their workflows. With MacStadium, GetYourGuide is now saving 4 hours per iOS developer, totaling over 60 hours/day. 

Enterprise solutions for Mac

Many of today’s Fortune 500 companies depend on iOS or Mac apps as part of their core business strategy. Enterprise teams need Mac cloud tools and infrastructure to support the build, test, or continuous integration pipeline of the company’s Apple-based software. MacStadium supports the largest apps in the world with enterprise features such as top-tier security, infinite scalability, and highly configurable networking.

Using a private cloud with virtualization provides a consistent environment where Capital One’s developers can get their test results quickly and ensure stable code before shipping to customers.

The developer cloud that grows with you

For startups and fast-growing companies, a MacStadium cloud is a great way to provide your team with always-on Mac build machines. It’s inexpensive and easy to set up. As your team grows, codebases and testing become more complex and PRs get more frequent. With MacStadium, easily add virtualization for added stability and automation or deploy additional Mac instances and automate using bare metal. With thousands of Macs deployed in each of our data centers, rapid scalability is just a click away.

Glovo transitioned from a fully managed CIaaS solution to MacStadium's Orka for iOS continuous integration to expedite value delivery to their user base.

Platform-as-a-service providers need fully automated, high-performance, reliable, and secure CI infrastructure that can quickly scale to support their software. The largest PaaS companies in the world rely on MacStadium to deliver fast and reliable Mac services to their customers. A MacStadium cloud can be fully customized to meet the unique needs of your platform and use case.

Hundreds of virtual machines powered by Orka Platform virtualization on MacStadium hardware created an interactive lab experience for Jamf’s annual user conference that was held online in 2020.

Innovation through open source

Tremendously important innovation on Apple products is happening through free and open source software. That’s why we are committed to supporting open source tools that benefit the growth of the Mac developer community. Through strategic partnerships and our open source program, we are proud to be the backbone behind many of the tools developers use every day.

With Orka, the popular macOS package manager Homebrew was able to reduce build times, simplify infrastructure management, and improve the overall experience for its contributors.

Read our customer stories

“Most of our build scripts ran about 20% faster when we ran them natively on the M1 machines compared to Rosetta, and they are almost twice as fast as the 2012 Mac minis."

Entertainment

“In the past, when an intervention was required, it could take 8+ hours for a response. Since using Orka, we haven’t had those kinds of CI bottlenecks happen for multiple years, and that’s huge for us.”

Dev-Tools

“The Interactive Labs powered by Orka gave Jamf the opportunity to pioneer new technology and offer a first of its kind experience for Mac admins.”

Dev-tools

“It gives us container-like functionality but for macOS. We wanted to have a clean environment for every build, for every developer, because otherwise you’re just going to run into problems.”

Dev-Tools

“We run our cluster in two MacStadium data centers in parallel. We monitor the demand for build nodes and work with MacStadium to scale the number of Mac minis in both data centers.”

Dev-tools

“Developers aren’t even aware that MacStadium cloud infrastructure supports their CI efforts – all they know is that ‘it just runs.’”

Finance

“Environment rollback became as simple as provisioning an on-demand environment from a different image or previous image tag/version.”

Entertainment

“It’s really important to have reliable infrastructure that you can trust, and with MacStadium, we have more Mac expertise available to us.”

Dev-Tools

“Our builds no longer need any cleanup steps, potentially saving 20% from the build time. Now the builds are spun up on a clean agent every time, completely reproducible.”

Dev-Tools

“We want to make sure that we have enough capacity and speed to keep the team happy. Developers are now able to clone a VM in around 10 seconds, where it had taken 20-30 minutes.”

"With a virtual lab of MacStadium Mac minis, students were able to continue their coursework uninterrupted."

Education

“We were able to bring the pull requests on iOS from 45 minutes to 10 minutes on the full pipeline with MacStadium and remote caching.”

"Orka has optimized our compute-function costs, made our cloning simpler, and cut our build and transfer times."

“The speed up on our development and delivery processes allowed our team to focus on what’s most important, building a great product and making a difference for our customers.”

Entertainment

“At a high level, we saw close to a 50% decrease in time. And we run a number of builds on every pull request that we make.”

Healhcare

“Thanks to Orka, we now have zero long-running Mac build machines, which means virtually no maintenance and no instability caused by machines running for weeks at a time.”
