Event Driven CI/CD Pipelines

In this presentation I go over how we created our current event driven pipeline. It covers why we decided to go event driven, were we started, where we are now, and where we are headed. I talk about how we are leveraging several technologies like Kafka, Go, Kubernetes to create a fully automated asynchronous supply chain for delivering rpms, deb, and oci images to customers. I also cover how not having time to build a new greenfield pipeline drove our technical decisions. I cover our audit system, receipts, and gating system that lets the robots ship the software by readiness. The lessons learned covers the triumphs and pitfalls of event driven asynchronous CI/CD pipelines. Attendees will learn about ways to gate releases by readiness, drive automated testing, make their pipelines asynchronous, and use machine learning to make the pipeline leaner and more reliable.
