  • perforce-buildkite-plugin

    A buildkite plugin for checking out code from Perforce

  • We use buildkite with a customised verison of https://github.com/improbable-eng/perforce-buildkite-plugin/

    Our game code is in P4, but our backend services are on GH. Having a single CI system means we get easy interop e.g. game updates can trigger backend pipelines and vice versa.

    In the past I've used TeamCity, Jenkins, and ElectricCommander(!)

  • keda

    KEDA is a Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling component. It provides event driven scale for any container running in Kubernetes

  • I am a little confused by your mention of "EC2 autoscaler" and then "EC2 ASG" autoscaler, but if I'm hearing you correctly and you'd want "self managed ASGs," then you may have some success adapting Keda <https://github.com/kedacore/keda#readme> (or your-favorite-event-driven-gizmo) to monitor the metrics that interest you and driving ec2.LaunchInstances on the other side, since as very best I can tell that's what ASGs are doing just using their serverless-event-something-or-other versus your serverless-event-something-or-other. I would suspect you could even continue to use the existing ec2.LaunchTemplate as the "stamp out copies of these" system, since there doesn't appear to be anything especially ASG-y about them, just that is the only(?) consumer thus far

  • s3-flash-bootloader

    A tool for flashing OS images onto stateful servers

  • minimizing the image definitely helps.
