Build Pipelines as Code with LambdaCD




ThoughtWorks Podcast show

Summary: In this episode, we talk to ThoughtWorks developer Florian Sellmayr about LambdaCD, an open source library for building build pipelines as code, written in Clojure. Florian shares with us the problems he has faced with traditional continuous integration systems, for example Jenkins. He makes a passionate case for LambdaCD’s approach of building your pipelines like you build your microservices - using such powerful tools like a functional programming language, version control, tests and refactoring. Finally, Florian outlines how the project evolved from a thought experiment into a library under active use and development and gives hints for upcoming contributors that want to help in shaping LambdaCD’s future. http://www.lambda.cd/
