Bob the Builder

What CI/CD should've been.

Most CI/CD tools are too opinionated and do too much. Bob follows the UNIX philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well, and the EMacs/LISP like philosophy of small core with external extensibility, and strives for simpler, decomposed and hence more composable and unbundled design. For more information, see Why Bob

Getting Started

To build and run your pipelines, check out the Getting Started guide.

Overview

Bob's API (accessible entirely through HTTP) enables a core set of CI/CD features. The following are the only concepts that Bob is opinionated about:

• Step: Direct commands (like a shell command, pytest, etc)
• Pipeline: Ordered series of steps
• Environment: Key-Value pair associated with either Steps and/or Pipelines
• Resource: Things (like source code or artifacts) consumed by Pipelines
• Artifact: Something produced by a Pipeline

The following services form the core cluster:

• API server
• Runner

All of these services live, breathe, and deploy from their own section of this mono-repo. Post-deployment, they are coordinated via a central persistent queue. Read more about Bob's Architecture.
