Summary

JFrog Workers, now available to Enterprise+ and Enterprise X customers, is a serverless execution environment within the JFrog Platform, akin to AWS Lambda, allowing users to create and run plugins that extend platform capabilities. It is designed to automate tasks such as adding properties to artifacts, which can be leveraged using JFrog's REST API, CLI, and AQL for advanced queries like retrieving or deleting artifacts based on specific criteria. Users can set up a Workers Service by navigating to the Workers tab under the Administration icon, and then create workers with defined tasks, such as adding project names as properties to artifacts upon their creation. The process involves naming the worker, selecting repositories, editing the code to execute the task, and testing it to ensure properties are added as expected. Upcoming support for JFrog Workers in the JFrog CLI aims to further integrate Workers into user pipelines, enhancing automation and efficiency.
