CDEvents is a common specification for Continuous Delivery events, enabling interoperability in the complete software production ecosystem.
It’s an incubated project at the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF).
Background
In a complex and fast moving CI/CD world with a lot of different tools and platforms that need to communicate with each other interoperability stands as a crucial thing. The maintainer of a CI/CD system needs to swap out tools in short time with little to no stops.
The larger and more complex a CI/CD system becomes, challenges increase in knowing how the tools communicate and what they do.
What we provide
The CDEvents protocol defines a vocabulary of events enabling tools to communicate in an interoperable way.
We extend other efforts such as CloudEvents by introducing purpose and semantics to the event.
By providing an interoperable way of tools to communicate we also provide means to give an overview picture increasing observability, but also to give measuring points for metrics.
CDEvents Specification
The latest release of the specification is
v0.1.0, and you can
continuously follow the latest updates of the specification on the main
branch.
The concepts and ideas that have formed the current specification are outlined in the CDEvents Primer.
