Jesse and I have been working on the "workflow" plugin, and we think it
got the point that we can open-source it.
We've talked about the workflow plugin several occasions mainly offline.
Put simply, it's a new job type where we aim to solve a number of pain
points --- such as job sprawl, long-running tasks, jobs that span
multiple computers, etc.
Slide deck [4] talks a bit more about the motivation and what it aims to
solve. And we've talked some more about this in the last Scalability
Summit [5]. But we've been spending more time coding than documenting,
so if you are interested in this, you'd have to come to Jenkins User
Conference [6] where we plan to spend some quality time talking about
this plugin.
The code is at [1], the issue tracker component is at [2], and if you
want to help us hack on this, Jesse and I track our TODOs in [3]. Trello
tracks short-term tasks while JIRA should be used for bug reports and
"nice to have" backlogs.
This series of plugins are still very much a work in progress, and we
don't recommend you to deploy this in your production Jenkins instance
just yet.
But we've been seeing great interest from users about this feature, and
we think this is a nice moment in that we have enough meat to show you
what we are trying to do, at the same time things are in flux enough
that we can make significant breaking changes based on feedback.
To play with this, see readme of [1].
