Embedded software developers often ship debug builds, but release builds offer significant advantages. Five key reasons to use release builds include: performance optimizations from higher compiler optimization levels, reduced memory footprint enabling use of cheaper microcontrollers, improved security by removing debug symbols and enabling stack protection and code obfuscation, better power efficiency as faster code spends more time in low-power states, and professionalism by demonstrating a polished, well-tested product. CI/CD pipelines and hardware-in-loop testing should all use release builds to ensure you ship what you test.
