Real devices on every commit.
When real-device testing is metered by the minute, every CI run becomes a cost decision — and the runs that catch the most regressions are the first to get cut. HelmSwarm runs on your own iPhones, so the meter never enters the pipeline.
Why does per-minute billing hurt CI/CD?
Because the pipeline runs on a clock. To control spend, teams cut CI triggers, run on fewer devices, and shorten suites — so feedback slows and coverage thins exactly where it matters: the automated gate before merge.
What changes when there's no meter
- Test on every commit — full real-device suite, not a cost-rationed subset.
- Fan out across your fleet — concurrency is how many of your iPhones you plug in, not a billing tier.
- Stable, owned devices — no shared-pool queue stalling the pipeline at peak.
- Local agent wires into your existing CI runner; results and artifacts stay in-house.
Fits your pipeline
HelmSwarm's agent connects to the same CI you already run — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Buildkite — triggering real-device runs as a build step, without shipping builds to a third-party cloud.
Integration depth varies by setup; HelmSwarm is in early access.
