+# Drools 8 / Kogito / OptaPlanner 8 pipelines
+
+Here is a small overview of current pipelines existing around Kogito project.
+
+## Which projects ?
+
+- Drools
+  - https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-drools
+  - https://github.com/kiegroup/drools-website
+  - https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-benchmarks
+  - https://github.com/kiegroup/kie-pmml-integration

+
+### Projects' dependencies
+
+- Kogito snapshot depends on Drools snapshot
+  They remain extremely coupled and some pipelines will need first to run Drools before Kogito, like the `Prepare release branch` and `Release` pipelines
+- OptaPlanner depends a Final version of Drools.
+
+All 3 projects can still be released
+
+### Kogito specificities
+
+Kogito contains both Artifacts and Cloud repositories. Those are "decoupled", which means there are:
+
+- 2 main release jobs, one for Artifacts and one for Cloud (but artifacts can call cloud)
+- 2 main default nightly jobs, one for Artifacts and one for Cloud (but artifacts can call cloud)
+- 2 main setup branch jobs, one for Artifacts and one for Cloud (but artifacts can call cloud)
+
+## Jenkins 
+
+All current Jenkins pipelines can be found in https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/KIE
+
+Each project has there its own folder (`drools`, `kogito`, `optaplanner`) and in there its own main seed job (see after).
+### Seed generation
+
+For more information on the seed generation, please look at the [jenkins](./jenkins.md) documentation.
+
+Main information to remember:
+
+- One main seed job will start the whole process and generate all jobs, for all defined branches.  
+  In that process, it will create global root jobs as well as one folder per branch (defined into the `main.yaml` config file).  
+  In each branch, it is created a branch seed job.  
+  Logic of the seed job can be found in [here](../dsl/seed/jenkinsfiles/Jenkinsfile.seed.main)  
+  Definition of the main seed job can found [here](../dsl/seed/jobs/seed_job_main.groovy)
+- Each branch seed job will generate the jobs, based on the `.ci/jenkins/dsl/jobs.groovy` file, for each of the defined repository/branch.  
+  For each branch, the information needed is defined into the `branch.yaml` file, being environments or repositories or credentials ...  
+  Logic of the seed job can be found in [here](../dsl/seed/jenkinsfiles/Jenkinsfile.seed.branch)  
+  Definition of a branch seed job can found [here](../dsl/seed/jobs/seed_job_branch.groovy)
+- When branching (`prepare-release-branch` job), it should process 3 things:
+  - Create release branches for all concerned repositories
+  - Create config branch for the config files repository
+  - Create seed branch for the seed library (`kogito-pipelines` repository)
+
+### Jenkins jobs
+
+### Job environments
+
+Environments can be found in the branch seed configuration.
+
+Usually you find those:
+
+- default
+  or the "empty" environment
+- native
+  Execute build with native maven commands
+- quarkus-branch
+  Check the project against the latest updates from the current quarkus branch used
+- quarkus-main
+  Check the project against the latest updates from quarkus main branch (forward compatiblity)
+- quarkus-3
+  Migrate repositories to Quarkus 3
+- quarkus-lts
+  Check the project against the latest updates from quarkus LTS branch (backward compatiblity)
+- native-lts
+  Check the project against the latest updates from quarkus LTS branch (backward compatiblity) in native mode
+
+#### Nightlies
+
+**Main nightly**
+
+or default nightly.
+
+This one building, testing and deploying artifacts/images.
+
+**Environment nightlies**
+
+Those jobs are only for artifacts' repositories.
+
+Environment jobs are defined in each concerned repositories. They use the environment definition and make a simple build.  
+Those jobs are making use of the build-chain via the [build-chain jenkinsfile](../dsl/seed/jenkinsfiles/Jenkinsfile.buildchain).
+
+The run of those builds use the `.ci/environments` folder of each repository.  
+This allows to have some specific updates for the build.
+Updates are usually in a patch folder. But some `before.sh` and `after.sh` scripts can allow more changes.
+For example, Quarkus 3 flows uses OpenRewrite + patches to do the migration, as the changes are quite big.
+
+Integration jobs are creating specific branches before perfoming the build. Branch name pattern is `{BASE_BRANCH}-integration-{ENVIRONMENT_NAME}`.
+
+#### PRs
+
+PR jobs are making use of the build-chain via the [build-chain jenkinsfile](../dsl/seed/jenkinsfiles/Jenkinsfile.buildchain).
+The environment variables are determining what and how it should be launched for each environments.
+
+Like the nightlies, the PR check use the environments scripts if needed and existing.
+
+#### Setup branch
+
+Those jobs are used:
+
+- when a release branch is created to update the release branch version and the main branch version
+- after a release is done, so we can update the release branch to the next snapshot
+
+Like the default nightly, there is a main pipeline which is calling the other jobs from the folder.
+
+#### Release
+
+Contains all release jobs. 
+
+Like the default nightly and setup branch processes, there is a main release job which is calling the different deploy/promote jobs.
+
+For more information, you can also have a look to the [release page](./release%20pipeline.md).
+
+There is also a [release checklist](./release%20checklist.md).
+
+#### Tools
+
+Useful tools for the pipelines, like updating an external dependency version, cleaning images ...
+
+### Quarkus Platform nightly
+
+As we need to deploy a specific Quarkus Platform with our snapshot artifacts, there is a nightly existing, which is launched by the main nightly.
+
+### Quarkus 3 jobs
+
+The Quarkus 3 flow is a bit specific as we are preparing for releasing versions in parallel of Quarkus 2.x version.
+We end up with 2 streams:
+
+- Drools8/Kogito/OptaPlanner8
+- Drools9/Kogito2/OptaPlanner9
+
+#### Quarkus 3 nightly integration jobs
+
+This is done in the `quarkus-3` environment nightly job (that can be found in `nightly.quarkus-3` folder).
+
+This environment has always a `0001_before_sh.patch` which is the result of the `before.sh` script, containing OpenRewrite automation. All other patches are manually maintained.
+
+When the nightly job is in failure, it usually means that the patches could not be correctly applied. Check the logs.
+And `UNSTABLE` build, means only test failures.
+
+The nightlies are creating specific branches:
+
+- Drools 9.x
+- Kogito 2.x
+- OptaPlanner 9.x
+
+**NOTE: The Quarkus 3 integration jobs are not running any testing. They are only performing the code migration. Tests are performed in the nightly jobs of the created branches**
+
+#### Quarkus 3 branches
+
+**DSL config files**
+
+Main Config file for Quarkus 3 are can be found on separate from code:
+- https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-drools/tree/9.x-dsl-config
+- https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/tree/2.x-dsl-config
+- https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-optaplanner/tree/9.x-dsl-config
+
+And jobs would be found in different Jenkins folders:
+- https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/KIE/job/drools-9.x/
+- https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/KIE/job/kogito-2.x/
+- https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/KIE/job/optaplanner-9.x/
+
+NOTE: We keep separate configurations between the 2 streams because it is easier to manage. Jobs configuration can then be read. Compare to "Stream 8/1", some environments are disabled for now.
+
+## GitHub Actions
+
+Historically, GHA was used as a backup of Jenkins, at the time when Jenkins was very unstable.  
+Since then, we tried to keep both sync.  
+Also GHA is used to provide external users (outside Red Hat) some feedbacks in case anything fails.
+
+Unlike Jenkins, there is no DSL for GHA but it means job run is much more dynamic. Any change can be applied automatically.
+
+And we only have PR checks with GHA.
+
+### PR checks
+
+See the different workflows. They mostly use the build-chain for artifacts's repositories. For cloud, it is to run simple and quick jobs.
+
+## How-tos ?
+
+### Update Quarkus version
+
+1) Create an issue on [kie-issues](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-issues)
+2) Launch `main/tools/update-quarkus-all` job with 
+   * [Drools](https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/KIE/job/drools/job/main/job/tools/job/update-quarkus-all/)
+   * [Kogito](https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/KIE/job/kogito/job/main/job/tools/job/update-quarkus-all/)
+   * [OptaPlanner](https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/KIE/job/optaplanner/job/main/job/tools/job/update-quarkus-all/)
+3) Wait for the PRs to arrive on [kogito-ci](https://kie.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/236603-kogito-ci) and [optaplanner-ci](https://kie.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/354864-optaplanner-ci) streams
+4) Review the changes.
+   **Make sure there is no downgrade of dependency version !!!!**
