Project Description

The HPCC Systems platform sources are hosted on GitHub and historically Jenkins has been used to automate building and packaging of the platform as part of a continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) workflow. However, GitHub Actions now makes it easier to automate how you build, test, and deploy your GitHub projects. In order to migrate the HPCC Systems CI/CD workflow from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, a web service that 1) receives a specific version of the HPCC Systems platform, 2) parses the different package files associated to this specific version stored in a staging location, and 3) returns several metadata in JSON format about these packages, needs to be replaced by a bash script that provides similar functionality. Below is a screenshot from part of the JSON file returned by a call to this web service.

• Learning of general HPCC Systems build process
• Learning CI tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions
• Development of a new and improved solution for the generation of package files
• Creation of documentation including a GitHub repository for the project
• A blog, a recorded presentation, and a poster artifact about your project (see examples from previous years here).
