Engineering often involves tough trade-offs: build vs. buy, gold-plating vs. time-to-market, and more. In December 2023, the decision was made to move away from outsourced infrastructure and bring everything on-prem at Bitrise. This talk explores the factors behind that decision, including financial considerations, user impact, team capabilities, and the choice between full on-prem and hybrid solutions.

A year into the transition, Arpad and Julia will share the results, challenges faced, and lessons learned from this significant shift. This session offers practical insights into making bold infrastructure decisions and leading teams through major changes.
