The switch delivered 6x faster native builds (60 minutes down to 10), reliable OTA updates replacing the unreliable CodePush, and a web-like daily release cadence instead of monthly app store submissions.

The result: fewer app store submissions, faster incident response, and reduced on-call stress. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
