⚠️ We're currently experiencing longer build queues on macOS M2 machines due to unusually high build activity, potentially related to misuse of the service.
We're investigating and working to get things back to normal.

Patch v0.3.0 is now out, for an improved OTA update experience. It includes:
- CLI install wizard, for simple setup of either the local evaluation stack or real server install.
- Cleaned metrics, to not muddy the data with flaky failures that worked on the next attempted
- Failure reasons, so you can see why those permanent install failures happened
- A server status page, to quickly report on the server status without needing any SSH
For full details, check out the new /releases page:

Self-hosting OTA shouldn't become a huge project. Let's look at keeping it to just an hour a month.

Self-hosting CodePush or other OTA services is like running an overloaded call center.
You can hire more staff, add a fancy answer machine and other complexity in order to scale it...but it's still not an ideal model.
In our latest article, read why a call center is overkill, and how we switched Patch to act as a bulletin board instead.

Let's intentionally crash the server for Codemagic Patch, to see the architecture still serving updates ☠️

I’ve tried a lot of React Native tools over the years.
Most are fun for a week.
A few made it into my daily workflow.
I made a video about the ones I actually use to save time when building apps 👇

Let's do a pair of stress tests.
We built Patch as OTA update tools like CodePush or Hot Updater struggle with lots of users. Here's a test to demonstrate the difference the architecture change makes.
