Bitrise unveils flexible build scheduling: Fine-tune your CI/CD workflow
Bitrise introduces a powerful new feature: flexible build scheduling! Take control of your CI/CD pipeline and automate tasks with the perfect cadence for your project.
Unleash granular control: Forget the limitations of daily or weekly builds. Schedule builds to run precisely when you need them, with a wide range of options.
You can now set up build schedules of your choice. Some examples below:
- Every “X” minutes
- Every “X” hours
- Every “X” days
- Every “X” months
- Every “X” years
- Every Mon, Tue at 15:00
- Every weekday at 15:00
- Every day at 15:00
- Every 2 weeks on Thu at 15:00
- Every 4 weeks on Fri at 15.00
- Every month on day 28 at 15.00
- Every “2” months on day 22 at 15:00
- Every “2” months on the third Tuesday at 15:00
- Every year on the first Monday of March at 15:00
- Every year on Mar 22 at 15:00
Benefits beyond convenience:
This new level of control translates to real workflow improvements:
- Comprehensive testing: Automate thorough testing of your entire codebase, including time-consuming functional and UI tests, at designated intervals.
- Regular performance & security scans: Schedule scans outside of your normal commit cycle to ensure consistent monitoring and identify vulnerabilities before they become critical.
- Improved communication & transparency: Trigger automated reports, refresh dashboards, and update documentation with scheduled builds, keeping everyone informed.
- Accessibility of latest builds: Regularly scheduled builds guarantee teams outside development always have access to the newest software versions.
Coming Soon: cron job precision
For those seeking ultimate control, Bitrise will soon introduce cron-based scheduling. This will allow you to define build schedules down to the exact minute, ensuring your CI/CD pipeline perfectly matches your development team’s rhythm.
