Learn how Thumbtack achieved faster build times, optimized compute costs, and future-proofed their iOS development pipeline with Orka
Thumbtack needed a macOS virtualization solution that supported Apple silicon and the newest macOS. Orka gave them that and more.
2x faster iOS builds
Improved cost per compute
Decreased transfer times
Peace of mind, knowing that they had reliable, modern infrastructure to support their revenue-driving app
Access the case study
Before with VMware
No Apple silicon support
No support for the newest macOS
No future for iOS development infrastructure
After with Orka
Apple silicon and Intel Mac support
Support for the newest macOS (now and into the future)
Future-proofed iOS development infrastructure
Dramatically decreased build and test times
Improved compute costs with more powerful hardware
Eliminated workflow bottlenecks
Don't just take our word for it
