Agola is a CI/CD system with a lot of features like advanced and reproducible workflows (runs), containerized tasks, fully distributed and high-available.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- 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.
- 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…
- Containerized, reproducible and restartable 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…).
- An advanced permissions system (work in progress).
- Dependency Caching to speed up tasks.
