Features

• Easy to install and manage.
• Scalable and High Available: go from a single instance (single process) deployment to a distributed deployment.
• Deploy anywhere: Kubernetes, IaaS, bare metal and execute the "tasks" anywhere (currently containers executors like docker or orchestrators and Kubernetes, but easily extensible to future technologies or VMs instead of containers).
• Support any language, deployment system etc... (just use the right image)
• Integrate with multiple git providers at the same time: you could add repos from github, gitlab, gitea (and more to come) inside the same agola installation.
• Use it to manage the full development lifecycle: from build to deploy.
• Tasks Workflows (that we called Runs) with ability to achieve fan-in, fan-out, matrixes etc..., everything containerized to achieve maximum reproducibility.
• Git based workflow: the run definition is committed inside the git repository (so everything is tracked and reproducible). A run execution is started by a git action (push, pull-request).
• Design it with the ability to achieve at most once runs: during a deployment to production we don't want multiple concurrent execution of the deploy...
• Restartable and reproducible Runs (restart a run from scratch or from failed tasks using the same source commit, variables etc...)
• User Direct Runs: give every user the power to test their software using the same run definition used when pushing to git/opening a pull request inside the Agola installation with just one command like if they were running tests locally (without requiring a super powerful workstation).
• Testable "Runs" (what is a CI/CD environment if you cannot test your changes to the Runs definitions?): use the same run definition but use a powerful secrets and variables system to access different resources (environments, docker registries etc...).
• Don't try to extend YAML to be a templating language but use a real templating language (as of now jsonnet) to easily generate the run configuration without side effects.
• An advanced permissions system (work in progress).
• Dependency Caching to speed up tasks
