Ask HN: Modern, self-hosted software dev infrastructure

3 pointsby isoosabout 9 years ago
I&#x27;m looking to setup a self-hosted software development infrastructure, with the following:<p>- continuos integration, build and delivery (preferably incremental)<p>- code reviews (preferably pre-, maybe post-commit)<p>- reports on test coverage, hot spots, code style and potential error checking (per-revision delta, overall, per-code-review-diff)<p>Most of the tools I&#x27;ve looked at require large amount of work to get integrated. For example, in my Java stack, I have ant, jacoco, junit, pmd, checkstyles, and these produce reports for the current revision, but it looks like integrating these into a comprehensive review + report infrastructure is not something people do (or write blogs about).<p>Is this really that hard to do? What are you using for these nowadays?<p>My tech stack is mostly Java, Go, JS and Python, but would be preferable if we could keep it language-agnostic.

To me, continuous integration&#x2F;build is a different class of process than the others. I mean that test coverage at 8am on a Monday is going to be pretty much the same as at 2pm the following Wednesday. On a large code base it&#x27;s going to be hard to move the needle on test coverage in a day and a half.<p>The second thing I see is the permutation problem. The combination of Java, Go, JS, Python, Ant, jacoco, junit, pmd, and checkstyles means that the odds that there&#x27;s an existing tool that works across all of them is very low. The odds that there&#x27;s something that works across all of them the way you want is pretty close to zero.<p>I think it&#x27;s going to be hard to get what you want the way you want. To me it looks like a moderate devops project.<p>Good luck.
