Decoupled processes - emit events from Artifactory

[buep]

Gathered inputs from stakeholders:

Can we ‘trigger jobs based on Artifactory Events’ - is this not the perfect case for an Artifactory User Plugin? I’d like to get to a point where pipelines can listen for events in Artifactory e.g. Promotions

Example mentioned - Assume a simple set up where release is:

• tag an approved sha1 with release version
• push the release branch to tag
• trigger jenkins for release branch changes
  • if whatever jenkins does is a success, do a promotion

With many of our customers there there might be lots of activities that needs to be triggered that needs a decoupled pipeline of its own when releasing.

In old days we had config rotator is a perfect example This way if you maintain a common component, and you do not need to know who the users are, they can trigger their own acceptance tests when there is a new release think 3rd party delivery

I think Eiffel summit 2017 mentioned there was an Artifactory plugin somewhere - maybe only internally at Ericsson.
