Share your plugin ideas!!

Please share ideas about what platform/software you want to be a piped plugin.

For example, I have an idea to make a plugin of sqldef, an idempotent schema management tool for various SQL software.
When we have the sqldef plugin, we can manage SQL schema with PipeCD according to GitOps manners.

My current ideas

• AWS CloudFormation / CDK

  • e.g. Use them for AWS infrastructure and use ECS/Lambda plugins for applications

• Terraform by Job (ECS Task / Lambda, etc.)

  • For Terraform resources that require a lot of memory, it's better to provision a dedicated environment instead of running on Piped itself.

• OpenTofu

• Wrapping existing tools (My Prototypes of them):

  • ecspresso (for ECS services)
  • ecschedule (for ECS scheduled tasks)
  • lambroll (for Lambda)

Stage Plugin Ideas:

• PYTHON_RUN
  • like extending SCRIPT_RUN, run .py code instead of sh
• ECS_RUN_TASK
  • focus on running a standalone task. e.g. executing a task of updating DB index
• Enhanced WAIT_APPROVAL
  • e.g. add complex notification logic,
• ANALYSIS by Amazon CloudWatch
• ANALYSIS by New Relic

• Cloudflare Workers

• CloudFront Functions

[t-kikuc]

• Sakura Cloud (AppRun etc.)

[t-kikuc]

• Ansible

• Spinnaker

• Crossplane

• Pulumi

• feature flag

• Open Policy Agent

• envoy

• Managing a Piped itself

• ECS for one interconnecting method

  • e.g. focus on ServiceConnect

DB schema

• atlas

Stage Plugin Ideas:

• WAIT_READY stage
  • Success if a specified endpoint returns a specified result
    • e.g. Wait until server(s) starts and the health-check passes
  • How to implement?: a user writes a script of fetching states, and this plugin executes it in for-loop
• Create Preview Env stage

Our company using AWS AppConfig to manage YAML configuration for our system, and we are using aws cli (aws appconfig create-hosted-configuration-version) to deploy config.
So it would be useful to manage these file declaratively :D
