devbot

Development bot for GitHub

The devbot project is a development environment manager, that helps you manage your development environment, in the most inclusive interpretation of the term:

• Automatic, on-demand, environment management (e.g. branch-specific environment; feature-specific environment; etc)
• Full integration with existing 3rd-party tools and provides such as GitHub, Slack, etc.
• One-stop dashboard to see everything related to product development in one place

3. User runs devctl bootstrap

Status

Alpha. Do not use.

• Review all calls to Requeue - many of those are failures that cannot be recovered from; something like "lastAttemptedCommitSHA" is needed in their place
• Recreate the unit tests
• Use slugged branch names as Environment and Deployment object names
• Support remote clusters
  • Slugging must be intelligent and avoid conflicts when two different branch names would result in the same slug
• Refactor conditions
  • All objects
    • Finalizing: is True if the object is being finalized
    • FailedToInitialize: is True if object initialization failed
    • Invalid: is True if object spec is invalid; for things that CRD cannot validate on its own
  • Repository
    • Unauthenticated: is True if authentication to Git provider could not be established
  • Application
    • Stale: is True if an environment is missing or redundant or is stale itself
  • Environment
    • Stale: is True if an Deployment is missing or redundant or is stale itself
  • Deployment
    • Cloning: is True if repository is being cloned
    • Baking: is True if resources manifest is being prepared
    • Applying: is True if resources manifest is being applied to the target cluster
    • Stale: is True if last applied commit is not the latest commit in the linked repository
• Setup CI
  • Linting
  • Detect and fail on dead code
  • Build & publish Docker images
  • Build & publish devctl
• Create a Makefile target that creates the local ignored files, using 1Password as a way to populate their values
