MacStadium

Running Mac CI on Tart+Orchard and wondering what's next? Orka has been the enterprise Mac CI platform since before Tart existed. Docs are a good place to start. docs.macstadium.com/orka

Not all macOS remote desktop tools are built for the same buyer. Citrix is better for enterprise teams. Parsec works well for creative teams that need speed. NoMachine is for teams that prefer affordable, self-hosting. Read our full breakdown: bit.ly/4vtCWMT

The Cirrus Labs team is joining OpenAI. They built Tart+Orchard. Big news for Mac CI teams who depend on it. We wrote up what we think it means: bit.ly/3O76245

Security reviews are where a lot of tools get stuck. The question isn't whether Orka is secure. It's whether you can prove it to your InfoSec team. Orka is built for that conversation: role-based access control with namespace isolation, full audit logs, SSO/SAML, and corporate identity integration out of the box. That's not a checklist item. It's the difference between passing a security review and getting blocked by one. trust.macstadium.com

Life360 has 79 million monthly active users. Their iOS engineering team nearly doubled in 4 years. Their Orka workload? It tripled. They didn't need more people managing infrastructure. They needed infrastructure that scaled with them. Read the full story. Link in the comments.

The Orka GitHub Actions integration just got smarter. v1.1.11 switches VM lifecycle management from SSH-driven to event-driven. Dropped SSH connection? Your job keeps running. Job finishes? The VM cleans itself up. Orphaned VMs? Auto-deleted within 10 minutes. Less babysitting. More shipping. bit.ly/4siGRtk

50 years of Apple. They built the hardware, the OS, and the chip architecture that now dominates mobile. Billions of people build, work, and create on what they made. We make sure enterprises can do it at scale. Here's to 50 more. #Apple50

If your team is managing Mac CI/CD at scale, Orka was built specifically for you.

If you've ever had a GitHub Actions runner die mid-job because SSH dropped, this one's for you. Orka's updated GitHub integration ties VM lifecycle to job events — not connection state. Cleaner resource management, automatic orphan cleanup, no more surprise VM sprawl. Full breakdown: bit.ly/4dgnL32

Why are companies still shipping Macs around the world? 📦 Lost devices. Security risks. Weeks of onboarding delay. There’s a better way: Mac VDI. See it live Mar 12 @ 11AM EST bit.ly/46VbEEN

Paired with cloud-hosted Mac VDI, Neo becomes the logical, local endpoint — users get the full Mac experience, compute and data stays in your data center where IT controls it. Read more about what we're watching with Neo: bit.ly/3OPXuyu

AppDynamics eliminated infrastructure-caused build failures entirely. bit.ly/3ZTPONL

Lloyds Banking Group went from 90-minute builds with constant failures to 25 minutes consistently. bit.ly/4thlbQ2

Moving static agents to the cloud doesn't make them modern. Same machine, same problems: 🔻 Environment drift 🔻 Flaky test failures 🔻 Manual cleanup scripts 🔻 "It works on my machine"
