Delivery Cost Optimization

Delivery spend, engineered down

CI minutes, device clouds, and per-seat tools compound quietly. We audit delivery spend, model hosted versus self-hosted economics per workload, and move in-house only where the math wins.

What you get

Pay for delivery, not for markup.

  • Spend audit

    Every runner minute, device hour, and license mapped to actual workloads.

  • Hosted vs self-hosted model

    Break-even math per component, including the operational cost of owning it.

  • Targeted migration

    The expensive parts moved in-house; the cheap conveniences kept hosted.

  • Right-sized infrastructure

    Runners and device labs sized to real queues, not peak paranoia.

  • Waste elimination

    Idle runners, redundant jobs, and over-triggered pipelines cut.

  • Ongoing cost telemetry

    Cost per build and per release tracked, so savings persist.

Delivery Cost Optimization

Same delivery, smaller bill.

A concrete migration plan with break-even math before anything moves.

Still have questions?

Let’s find the right path for your product.

Whether you’re planning new work or unblocking an existing product, we’ll help you choose the right path forward.

How much can we save?

It scales with volume: teams running heavy CI and device-cloud workloads typically save the most by owning that capacity. The audit produces your number, not an industry average.

What are the hidden costs of self-hosting?

Hardware refresh, maintenance time, and on-call attention. We put them in the model explicitly - and automate most of the maintenance with agents.

What should stay hosted?

Low-volume, bursty, or convenience workloads where elasticity beats ownership. The answer is per-component, not ideological.

Does the team need new skills to operate it?

Modest ones. Runbooks, monitoring, and maintenance agents keep the operational load to a fraction of an engineer.

How fast does it pay back?

Typically within months at sustained scale; the break-even point is in the plan before you approve anything.

Does cost cutting hurt delivery speed?

Usually the opposite - owned runners with proper caching are faster than shared hosted capacity.

Caching React Native Builds on S3 and R2 With Rock

One of the core reasons we built Rock was to eliminate unnecessary native iOS and Android builds by reusing existing artifacts: saving time, compute, and cost. Until now, remote caching was tied to GitHub, which limited flexibility. The latest release changes that: Rock now supports AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2, allowing teams to store and retrieve native builds from their own infrastructure. This unlocks a much more powerful setup for enterprise teams with custom CI or compliance needs.
