| # First-class Gerrit CI integration with Checks |
| |
| In its 10 years of history, Gerrit has never offered a dedicated integration of |
| CI or analyzer systems. To work around that, people have used several |
| workarounds like integrating with Gerrit's label system instead. This approach |
| has several issues including a suboptimal user experience. |
| |
| To improve that, we have designed a new way to integrate CI systems with Gerrit, |
| which is especially targeted at being flexible, robust/resilient, and scalable. |
| |
| We are aware that many different CI systems and use cases exist. This was |
| especially taken into account for the base design. It's extensible enough so |
| that we can add many more features. |
| |
| Within this talk, I will outline the base ideas of the new design and what it |
| means for integrating CI systems. Part of it is already implemented, which I |
| will show in a demo. I will also cover some future features we're envisioning |
| and how we think that the approach would need to be extended to work for |
| analyzers as well. |
