About This Episode:
Scaling CI/CD for mobile apps is hard. Faster test runs often lead to more tests, more infrastructure, and more complexity. So how do you keep your pipelines healthy and reliable while still shipping at speed?
In this episode, we sit down with Anton Malinski of Marathon Labs to explore the real-world lessons he’s learned building and optimizing mobile CI/CD pipelines. You’ll discover:
- How to scale mobile test automation without introducing friction
- What “healthy CI growth” looks like in practice
- Why real devices still matter, even with a massive emulator fleet
- How backend mocking and dedicated mobile API gateways transform shift-left testing
- Practical advice for teams evolving from weekly releases to on-every-commit confidence
Whether you’re a QA leader, automation engineer, or DevOps practitioner, this conversation gives you the insights and metrics you need to take your mobile testing pipelines to the next level.
