What is Remote Asset API?

Tue 06 April 2021 - Scott Clarke

This blog post is about the Remote Asset API, describing its components and going into detail about the server-side implementation which has been worked on here at Codethink.

Building the abseil-hello Bazel project for a different architecture using a dynamically generated toolchain

Tue 15 December 2020 - Darius Makovsky

Bazel and BuildStream are tools which are commonly used to organize and delegate the building of software. There are a few key differences between them but largely they are concerned with the same development problems.

Orchestrating applications by (ab)using Ansible's Network XML Parser

Tue 01 September 2020 - Bob Clough

There are various roles out there on ansible-galaxy that will take care of installing this application for you, but their main advantage is the ability to install on platforms we don't use, and the ones we looked over didn't provide any configuration of openvas itself.

Consuming BuildStream projects in Bazel: the bazelize plugin

Tue 09 June 2020 - Darius Makovsky

Buildstream projects can easily be consumed by Bazel projects by use of a bazelize element, offering greater flexibility and an easier path to integrating third party dependencies

Creating a Build toolkit using the Remote Execution API

Thu 28 May 2020 - Chris Phang

Building and testing at scale often involves codebases with millions of lines of code, worked upon by thousands of developers. One solution to the problem of building as quickly as possible is simply delegating that responsibility — not to the machine that the developer is working on, or even to a server that the CI job has been dispatched to, but to a server farm...

Testing Bazel's Remote Execution API

Tue 17 September 2019 - Laurence Urhegyi

When building software, we know that we need to be fast and we know we need to minimise any wasted time in the process. Introducing Remote Execution to builds will help to achieve this, but how do the different solutions compare? That's where the Remote Execution API Testing Project comes in...

Using the REAPI for Distributed Builds

Wed 14 August 2019 - Santiago Gil

As mentioned in the first part of this article, An Introduction to Distributed Builds and Remote Execution, there is no single solution to the problem of building software in a distributed manner. This description will focus on a solution based on the Remote Execution API.

An Introduction to Remote Execution and Distributed Builds

Wed 07 August 2019 - Santiago Gil

Building software

Part of creating software involves translating source code into instructions that can be executed by hardware and packaging the results in a way that can be consumed by users. That process is known as building (although colloquially it sometimes can be referred to as compiling).

How to put GitOps to work for your software delivery

Fri 24 May 2019 - Colin Domoney

GitOps is increasingly popular in the cloud-native world, allowing developers to deliver software to production using their native tooling—a pull request in Git. The underlying principle is that of infrastructure as code.

GENIVI Development Platform

Fri 08 July 2016 - Agustin Benito Bethencourt

Moving from a traditional product/release focused delivery model to a rolling model. Agustin talks about our team's work on the GENIVI Development Platform and the transition to a continuous delivery model.

Visualising the Software Integration process for whole systems

Sat 23 April 2016 - Paul Sherwood

Over the last few years Codethink has been helping a series of customers understand and manage the scale and complexity of their software integration pipelines. We've seen and tried various approaches to visualise what's happening, but many projects end up falling back to some combination of:

architecture diagrams
data models …
