Build facts

Download build facts from different CI/CD servers in a standard JSON schema. You then take it from there with your own analytics.

Why?

It's hard to innovate when every build server has their own format of reporting build data. By offering a more standard format, we hope that it becomes feasible to share build analytics across users of different build servers. See https://github.com/cburgmer/buildviz for an example on what is possible with the current set of build properties.

Features

• Streams standardized build data (specified via JSON Schema)
• Splunk HEC format
• Resume from previous sync
• Output build data to files
