Summary

Codefresh has launched a plugin marketplace featuring a collection of open-source pipeline steps that can be integrated into pipelines by adding specific YAML segments. These plugins, contributed by Codefresh and its partners, are easy to create and use, as each consists of a Docker image with clear input and output parameters. This approach differs from traditional CI/CD platforms that rely on custom scripts and lead to vendor lock-in, making them harder to extend. Codefresh's use of Docker images as the foundation for each plugin allows developers to use any programming language, offering more flexibility and ease of integration. The marketplace aims to provide building blocks for pipelines, encouraging community contributions as Docker adoption grows.
