Visual Workflow Builder: Build CI/CD Pipelines Without Writing YAML
Blog post from Semaphore
Semaphore has introduced Workflow Builder, a visual tool designed to simplify the creation of serverless CI/CD pipelines without the need for writing YAML, allowing developers to focus more on feature development. This tool builds on Semaphore's mission to simplify CI/CD processes and follows previous enhancements like complex pipeline workflows and custom Docker container-based agents. Workflow Builder addresses the challenges associated with YAML by providing an intuitive graphical interface that makes pipeline configuration accessible to all developers, not just specialists. It allows users to commit their CI/CD configurations directly into their Git repositories, facilitating a fast edit-run-edit cycle. The tool includes features such as deployment modeling, advanced block configuration, and intelligent language detection, with more developments anticipated. Feedback is encouraged to further improve the tool, and discussions are welcomed on their Discord channel.
