Bitrise slashes build artifact retention to 90 days because 'most teams forget after a sprint'—buildstash steps in with unlimited storage for your eternal debug nightmares

Bitrise, a continuous integration and delivery platform, has announced a reduction in the maximum retention period for build artifacts on its paid plans, effective March 31, 2026. The new retention periods will be 150 days for installable artifacts, 90 days for build logs, and seven days for certain pipeline files. This change, which aligns with the company's stated goal of conforming to industry standards, may impact teams that require longer retention periods. As a result, Buildstash, a platform for managing software binaries and build artifacts, has emerged as a potential alternative. Buildstash offers fully customizable retention policies, allowing users to store builds for any duration, from a week to indefinitely. This flexibility makes it an attractive option for teams seeking to manage their build artifacts without strict retention limits. With its ability to connect to any CI/CD platform and distribute builds to various targets, Buildstash provides a comprehensive solution for teams looking to maintain control over their build artifacts.
