Event-based CI workflows in GitLab

In July 2022, a proof of concept for Continuous Integration (CI) workflows was introduced during the Verify Stage Hackathon, aiming to enhance automation in software development processes by using event-based services to trigger pipelines. This concept allows users, particularly those utilizing GitLab CI, to leverage the flexibility of pipelines beyond traditional use cases, such as automatically running pipelines upon certain events like issue creation or merge request state changes, using definitions in the .gitlab-ci.yml file and existing webhooks. The initiative is part of broader GitLab workflow and automation goals, with future plans to formally instrument CI workflows and incorporate Platform Events or Cloud Events to expand event-triggered automations beyond current webhook capabilities. Feedback is encouraged from users to refine and expand these capabilities.
