ParallelPipelines

⭐ Write your CICD orchestration with C#!

ParallelPipelines	Github Actions
✅ Parallel steps	❌ Sequential steps
✅ Run locally to rapidly prototype and debug	❌ Difficult to run locally, accurately
✅ Interactive progress running locally	❌ -
✅ Outputs a summary table and gantt chart of deployment to Github Actions Step Summary	🟨 Run summary
❌ Cannot rerun failed jobs (restart in progress run)	✅ Rerun failed jobs
✅ C# and strong types	❌ YAML

Despite the comparison, ParallelPipelines is built primarily to be used in Github Actions. Bitbucket Pipelines/Azure Pipelines may be officially supported in the future if there is interest.

Getting Started

• Copy and update as needed the Github workflow examples folder to your repository
• Create a new C# Project for CICD, and install the ParallelPipelines Nuget package
• Create some steps! See the examplesrc/ParallelPipelines.Console/Steps folder for examples
• Test your CICD locally with dotnet run
• Ensure the path to your Deploy project is correct in the Github workflow
• Done!

Notes Regarding Examples

• The examples are written with a C#/.NET/Azure ecosystem in mind, noting steps such as installing dotnet wasm-tools, installing the Azure Static Web Apps CLI to deploy a Blazor WebAssembly app, and provisioning an Azure resource group/deploying a Bicep template.
• These are just examples - you can write whatever steps you would like, as steps simply run shell commands.
