Platform engineer delivering updates automatically. Build systems.
Wrote about how we use support channels to prioritize high-leverage features.
Our support-driven features tend to require little effort, paying off the investment almost immediately. Yet they’re too small to be requested in more formal settings.
Favorite part of on-call is how many ideas are created to improve the system.
New blog post: Can our systems automatically validate intent?
@RainofTerra Definitely soon! The good news is we keep improving our upgrade tooling, so it’s less effort each time
@stevecrox thanks! Very interesting option. If you’ve written about rolling this out, I’d be interested in reading more
@stevecrox nice approach!
We have something similar for projects created in the past few years. The required JDK version is stored alongside the code, and is simple to upgrade.
Legacy projects are where it gets tricky for us. We can’t block our migration on every project defining a JDK, so we’ve moved the agent connection JDK to 17 while leaving PATH and JAVA_HOME set to JDK 8.
Nearly done with our Jenkins JDK17 upgrade!
This migration required
• sequencing by component, risk
• changes made by partner teams
• progress reporting
• minimizing user impact
Many teams face the same challenges so I’m putting together a post about it. If you have questions the post could answer, or would be interested in reading a draft, please get in touch.
I’ve been modernizing some older #jenkins plugins with automated PRs.
3 changes that keep the build green is more consumable than 1 breaking change.
Woodpecker CIToday marks an awesome milestone!
Our v1.0.0 just got #released out into the wild.
Catch it if you can ... and play around, it got a ton of improvements over our old versions.
Also please #boost so everybody notice it.
