From 44b9ccfbb9bef82cf7da0508a926af4e78777690 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christie Wilson Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 13:57:07 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?Create=202020=20roadmap=20=F0=9F=9B=A3=EF=B8=8F?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I have put together a roadmap for 2020, which attempts to represent the most requested of the features and issues that we've seen so far. I did this by: * [Reviewing the 2019 roadmap](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zClmMJZU63kEDedjxTI99MCK-mXqm-Ym7PBfjMG5tQE/edit) * Looking at the oldest and most commented on issues in Tekton Pipelines and Tekton Triggers I also added a section on Tekton's mission: this is the mission that we've been using at Google when talking about Tekton - so this is a great chance for anyone who is viewing Tekton differently to mention their mission and vision so we can tweak it. Having more clarity around what everyone is hoping accomplish with Tekton will make it easier to make decisions around features, etc. Roadmaps for individual projects: * Pipelines: https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline/pull/2275 * Triggers: https://github.com/tektoncd/triggers/pull/498 * Catalog: https://github.com/tektoncd/catalog/pull/236 * Dashabord: TBD, initial thoughts in https://github.com/tektoncd/community/pull/77#issuecomment-587015851 * CLI: TBD --- README.md | 1 + roadmap.md | 79 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 80 insertions(+) create mode 100644 roadmap.md diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 4dd83fc9d..26f665469 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ This is the central home for documentation on joining and contributing to the Te ## Want to learn how the project works +* Take a look at our [mission and roadmaps](roadmap.md) * Take a look at [our Governance docs](governance.md) ## Want to get involved diff --git a/roadmap.md b/roadmap.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..5318b04f5 --- /dev/null +++ b/roadmap.md @@ -0,0 +1,79 @@ +# Tekton Mission and Roadmap + +This doc describes Tekton's mission and the 2020 roadmap primarily +for Tekton Pipelines but some sneak peeks at other projects as well. + +- [Mission and Vision](#mission-and-vision) +- [GA releases](#ga-releases) +- [Release and dogfooding](#release-and-dogfooding) +- [Results](#results) +- Tekton Projects + - [Pipeline](https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline/blob/master/roadmap.md) + - [Triggers](https://github.com/tektoncd/triggers/blob/master/roadmap.md) + - [Catalog](https://github.com/tektoncd/catalog/blob/master/roadmap.md) + - Dashboard + - CLI + +## Mission and Vision + +Tekton's mission: + + Be the industry-standard, cloud-native CI/CD platform components and ecosystem. + +The vision for this is: + +* Tekton API conformance across as many CI/CD platforms as possible +* A rich catalog of high quality, reusable `Tasks` which work with Tekton conformant systems + +What this vision looks like differs across different users: + +* **Engineers building CI/CD systems**: These users will be motivated to use Tekton + and integrate it into the CI/CD systems they are using because building on top + of Tekton means they don't have to re-invent the wheel and out of the box they get + scalable, serverless cloud native execution +* **Engineers who need CI/CD**: (aka all software engineers!)
