Aspect Workflows demonstration deployment

This deployment of Aspect Workflows is configured to run on Buildkite.

You can see this Aspect Workflows demonstration deployment live at https://buildkite.com/aspect/rules-js.

The two components of the configuration for this repository are,

1. Aspect Workflows configuration yaml
2. Buildkite pipeline configuration (in the Buildkite UI)

Aspect Workflows configuration yaml

This is the config.yaml file in this directory.

Buildkite pipeline configuration (in the Buildkite UI)

There are two pipelines configured on Buildkite.

1. Main build & test pipeline: https://buildkite.com/aspect/rules-js
2. Scheduled warming pipeline: https://buildkite.com/aspect/rules-js-warming

Main build & test pipeline configuration

The main build & test pipeline found at https://buildkite.com/aspect/rules-js is configured with the following yaml steps:

steps:
  - label: ":aspect: Setup Aspect Workflows"
    commands:
      - "rosetta steps | buildkite-agent pipeline upload"
    agents:
      queue: aspect-small

[!IMPORTANT] The Setup Aspect Workflows step above is configured to run on the aspect-small queue that is serviced by a runner group made up of lightweight and inexpensive e2.small GCP VM instances.

Scheduled warming pipeline configuration

The scheduled warming pipeline found at https://buildkite.com/aspect/rules-js-warming is configured with the following yaml steps:

env:
  ASPECT_WORKFLOWS_BIN_DIR: /etc/aspect/workflows/bin
steps:
  - label: ":fire: Create warming archives"
    commands: |
      echo "--- :aspect-build: Configure environment"
      ${ASPECT_WORKFLOWS_BIN_DIR}/configure_workflows_env
      echo "--- :stethoscope: Agent health checks"
      ${ASPECT_WORKFLOWS_BIN_DIR}/agent_health_check
      echo "--- :bazel: Create warming archive"
      rosetta run warming
      ${ASPECT_WORKFLOWS_BIN_DIR}/warming_archive
    agents:
      queue: aspect-warming

The warming pipeline is not configured to trigger on commits or PRs. Instead, a scheduled is configured for this pipeline with the cron interval 0 1 * * * America/Vancouver so that it runs periodically to create up-to-date warming archives that caches repository rules so that the “default” build & test runners don't have to re-fetch them on their first build.
