Overriding Fear of CI Change
summary
Company migrates Android CI from an old unnamed system to Semaphore and measures concrete gains: 40–50+ minutes → ~15 minutes per build, target <10 minutes after optimization, and builds stop failing randomly so releases become reliable. Implementation uses Semaphore YAML and the visual builder, Docker Android registries prebuilt so switching from API/OS 31 to 33 is change registry 31→33 in under a minute. Secrets management and support work faster; pricing model still under evaluation.
