I was gonna put up something full of sarcasm. Then I realize engineers are the least responsible for enterprise business failure. This could happen to any of us. Company goes under water and job security fades away. Thanks for contributing to the open source world. And best of luck to all of those brother and sister engineers.
Although Yahoo doesn't seem to be doing very well recently, they've done lots of great engineering. I recently looked through the organization's Github [0] and discovered a few nice packages.<p>I'd happily pay for a good managed CD build system capable of handling projects / products with multiple dependencies.<p>Right now I use CircleCI along with a bunch of scripts, and it works, but it's not great. One problem with existing CI tools that I've used is they only handle a single git repo, so extra automation has to be done ad-hoc. It's not terribly difficult, but it's tedious and it doesn't give you any kind of safety guarantees.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/yahoo" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/yahoo</a>
The screenshot looks a bit like Chef's Automate. The config example looks like Concourse's config (<a href="http://docs.screwdriver.cd/user-guide/configuration/index#yaml-configuration" rel="nofollow">http://docs.screwdriver.cd/user-guide/configuration/index#ya...</a>), but it doesn't look like they have task files.<p>They should write up a comparison to GoCD, Teamcity, Concourse, Jenkins, Chef Automate, etc. It can be pretty hard to evaluate these things without losing a month.
Just spent the last 15minutes on it and my first impression is that documentation is still too poor to use it professionally.
Even though, after a couple of tries, it looks like an awesome start and I'll follow this up with great attention.<p>Good job to the team for building an open-source tool for CD!
Honestly the yahoo engineers are doing a fantastic job. First the NSFW open source model, now this, easy to use (got started in 3 minutes on my servers). A whole lotta love from Germany guys and gals <3
So if I'm already using gitlab or something similar is there a reason I should consider switching?<p>Edit:
I also read this as compact disk at first.
