Roadmap

v0.1.0 - Groundwork ⛏️

🎯 objective: fundamental features

  • basic file structure with orders only
  • execution with only list of commands
  • CLI to list and run orders
  • project must include:
    • documentation
    • unit tests
    • code quality & development tools/configs
  • use order as its own order runner / build system

v0.2.0 - Gears ⚙️

🎯 objective: more complex commands support, parametrization, more real CLI-like experience for orders execution

  • add basic Orderfile.yml initialization with –init flag
  • referencing one order in another
  • string templating:
    • order parameters/flags:
      • secrets
      • bool
      • string
    • default values
    • “passthrough” option:
      • will pass all flags/positional agrs to marked place in order cmd string
      • passtrhough allows for special “help-cmd” which will be helpful to see command’s original help
  • environmental variables injection

v0.3.0 - Lineage 👪

🎯 objective: inheritance as project signature feature which allows for better order management and separation between definition and implementation`

  • inheritance (local):
    • vertical (parent - child):
      • one parent allowed
      • modes: ignore / extend / override
    • horizontal (siblings):
      • with order namespacing/aliasing

v0.4.0 - Distance 📏

🎯 objective: definition centralization for multirepo-based projects

  • network-based inheritance:
    • only vertical inheritance
    • authentication support
    • global & order-based checksum system

v0.5.0 - Singularity 🔮

🎯 objective: better management over tree-like structure

  • final form file compilation (to new file):
    • by vertical squashing with all modes applied:
      • ignore: no order present
      • extend: script squash for both orders
      • override: child only
    • optional --keep-parent flag which will allow for “final file” to keep parent reference
      • override mode for all orders as a way to obey the principle o open-closed principle
    • “final file” is just normal Orderfile.yml, no special behaviour / syntax

v0.6.0 - Channel 🚿

🎯 objective: pipeline as clear, multi-order scenario definition

  • order pipelining:
    • parameter-based inter-order communication
  • artifacts

v0.7.0 - Vision 🔭

🎯 objective: more user friendly order/pipelines navigation

  • web interface:
    • local server
    • order & pipelines:
      • visualization
      • edition
      • execution
  • introduction of e2e tests for web interface
