The SonarCloudPipelinesAnnouncement blog post discusses an automated integration between Artifactory and SonarQube to enable customizable and non-blocking release management for top-quality software. This integration uses webhooks, APIs, and user plugins to automatically trigger promotion based on quality gate results from SonarQube, while allowing developers to implement their own logic and workflows. The blog post showcases a Jenkins CI server setup that provides quick feedback to committers and establishes the link between SonarQube analysis and Artifactory build information. The integration enables fast feedback on commits, promotes builds based on quality gate results, and triggers external tools for advanced tests and deployment.
