Companies are under mounting pressure to continuously release new applications and features. And as software development life cycles become more iterative, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) has become a necessary ingredient to enable more rapid deployments.
Interestingly, CDEvents, an emerging open source standard from the Continous Delivery Foundation (CDF), is working to standardize the root semantics of how CI/CD tools describe the payloads of their events with more granularity than CloudEvents. The project aims to establish schemas for how common CI/CD events are described, easing integration and providing more actionable data surrounding the CI/CD pipeline.
