Breaking the CI/CD Bottleneck: Run Smart, Not Just Remote
summary
CI/CD waits shrink by moving repeatable checks to developers' laptops: configure pre-commit/post-commit hooks to run local workflows (unit/UI tests, build) via Bitrise CLI or shell/Grad tasks, then tag the commit with a timestamped local-PR-checked tag so remote pipelines skip those steps. Validation includes attaching APK SHA or other artifact hashes plus the commit hash, checking tag uniqueness against a stored stamps file, and rejecting reused tags. Expected impact: up to ~90% shorter wait and ~50% of pipeline runtime moved locally.
