Bitrise Remote Dev Environments
Launching today
Bitrise RDE gives you cloud Macs & Linux machines that start in seconds, the same machines, stacks and caches as your CI.
Give every agent its machine and run them in parallel via MCP, or attach VS Code, Cursor or Claude Code. Archive when you stop, restore later.

Congrats on the launch! How long are the VMs stored, how long can I restore them and work on them?

@djoragui Thank you so much for your support 🎉💛

On the virtual machines being stored, I checked with my team:
VPs can be shored indefinitely, as long as you don't delete it and the stack it was created from is still available on Bitrise. There is no inactivity-based deletion of terminated sessions.
However! Your session's disk holds only your changes on top of that stack image, so it can't be started once the image is gone. Stack removals follow the published stack deprecation and removal policy, with at least four weeks' notice. Upcoming removals are listed on the upcoming stack deprecations page, and you can subscribe to RSS updates to follow them.

@aorcsik Thanks for checking out RDE, Tony 🎉 Great q!

@aorcsik I just checked the docs on this.
Yes, you can run as many in parallel as your subscription/contract allows you to run. Typically, one agent <> one VM is how we use it. We have an orchestrator we call “Kolega” that coordinates these agents, there is an open-source reference code for it on GitHub.
And they all use git/github to collaborate code and changes, just like any software engineer groups. My teammate and RDE maker ✨, @balazsrostas wrote a good guide on this https://bitrise.io/blog/post/how-we-built-a-coding-agent-that-lives-in-slack-and-the-recipe-to-build-your-own

Hi Product Hunt, I’m Szabi, Distinguished Software Engineer and Tech Lead of Platform at Bitrise. 👋
I loved working on this product. Persistent disks at SSD speed for macOS VMs was one of the hardest problems. Think of it as EBS for EC2 Macs, except it runs at local SSD speed. It's what lets you or an agent work in an RDE for days and have every line of code, every cache, and every dependency still be there next session. Today we get there by accepting some extra startup and shutdown time. We already have a proof of concept with the same disk performance and zero added delay. Stay tuned!

@szabolcs_gelencser Thanks for all your help with RDE 💛 This was such a team effort product :)
Heyday Health
Intriguing, congrats on the launch! Do you have anything preinstalled on VMs?
Bitrise
The parts I use most:
iOS Simulators and Android Emulators – run tests, or just look at the app.
Archive (Suspend). Stop for the day and the disk state is saved with no meter running. Restore on Monday and your branch, your caches and your half-finished thoughts are all still there.
You made me selling my second monitor! :(
Thanks

Amazing to see this come together! Bitrise is uniquely positioned to make this work, with the infrastructure already in place and a decade of experience in mobile CI behind it.
It was incredible watching the team take RDE from an internal prototype through beta, creating real value for developers along the way. We use it ourselves every day, as do some very impressive teams in the mobile app space, which is usually the best signal you have that something is worth shipping.
Excited to see what people do with it!

@dan_bitrise And thank you so much for helping with the product marketing side of things 💛
