Forj documentation¶
Forj provides software developers with a rapid, flexible and open continuous integration (CI)/ continuous delivery (CD) development platform. This environment is often referred to as a software forge, even though, at the time the name was invented, the notion of CI and CD was not as prevalent.
Forj provides:
- A collection of pre-integrated continuous integration and delivery tool stacks called blueprints
- Forj has currently one continuous integration stack which mimics the OpenStack ™ Open Source project. We look forward to build a Forj community to add many continuous integration stacks to the catalog.
An orchestration and administration component called Maestro which provides a uniform way to provision projects and users as well as manage the forge (backup/restore, monitoring, updates).
See the Forj web site for more information, use cases and flows.
Documentation¶
The documentation has 2 parts:
- The “user guide” section is relevant for Forj users as well as forge administrators and users.
- The “developer guide” is for anyone who wants to contribute to the Forj project.
