BuildFire is the leading mobile app development platform for businesses, organizations, individuals, resellers, and developers-supporting around 15,000 apps. Its click‑and‑edit interface and powerful built‑in features let anyone create iOS and Android apps without coding, while developers can extend functionality with an open‑source SDK.

"Easy and fast integration as a native feature in BuildFire’s SDK combined with a high-quality CDN delivery and effective image optimization.”

The challenge

Each BuildFire app has different traffic profiles, user locations, and image density. The team needed a single solution to handle image compression for compatible browsers, optimize delivery, and adapt images to users’ screen sizes-while leveraging a premium CDN for performance at a fair price. Prior to Cloudimage, other optimizers and CDNs did not meet the loading‑time requirements of larger clients.

Consistent image compression (e.g., WebP) and optimization across diverse apps
Responsive delivery tailored to users’ screen sizes and geographies
Premium CDN delivery to meet strict performance needs at a fair cost
Image load times that satisfy demanding enterprise clients

The solution

Cloudimage was integrated as a native feature in BuildFire’s SDK, pairing high‑quality CDN delivery with effective image optimization. The setup supported multiple tokens for development and production environments, with a global allowance that scales alongside project size. Together, these capabilities gave BuildFire the flexibility to serve varied use cases, from DIY apps to custom enterprise builds, without adding complexity.

High‑quality CDN delivery with effective image optimization
Multi‑tokens for dev and prod, plus a global, scalable allowance
Flexible setup for both DIY users and enterprise projects

The result

Post‑integration, BuildFire delivered higher‑quality, faster images across a wide range of app types and traffic patterns. The native SDK feature made adoption simple for builders while ensuring consistent, reliable performance at scale. High‑quality CDN delivery plus smart optimization helped reduce traffic overheads and improve load times-particularly for larger clients with demanding requirements. The partnership has remained strong for four years, underscoring the stability and scalability of the solution as BuildFire’s project portfolio continues to grow.
