Introducing the Elastic CI Stack for EC2 Mac

The Senior Product Manager of Buildkite has introduced a new open-source Elastic CI Stack for EC2 Mac, designed specifically for mobile teams to scale their CI/CD pipelines using AWS and Buildkite. Pinterest has successfully reduced CI related build failures by 80% and upgrade times by 43% after migrating from self-managed hardware to Buildkite + AWS. The current release includes a CloudFormation template, Auto Scaling Group management, Launch Template customizations for running the Buildkite Agent, and other supporting pieces. Upcoming updates will include M1 support, new autoscaling options, and more. To get started, refer to the Elastic CI Stack for EC2 Mac Documentation or check it out on GitHub. Additionally, teams managing Linux and Docker-based workflows can explore the existing Elastic CI Stack for AWS. For those interested in connecting with other mobile CI/CD scaling teams, join the Mobile Native Foundation forums and the Buildkite Community Slack.
