Buildbot

What is Buildbot?

BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes. By automatically rebuilding and testing the tree each time something has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before other developers are inconvenienced by the failure.

Buildbot is a tool in the Continuous Integration category of a tech stack.

Concourse

Got frustrated with the complexities of heavyweight build automation/continuous integration tools like Jenkins, Concourse or Buildbot so I built my own in Go . https://gogs.blitter.com/Russtopia/bacillus. Well under 1K SLOC, no JVM or containers required. Config nearly 100% in the launch script itself.

Go is a lean, powerful language that takes a lot of cognitive load off of the developer with rich data manipulation functions and easy to use HTTP/net libs and concurrency. Combined with gopherjs this old-timey embedded programmer finally found a sensible language for both front- and back-end web development.
