hephy-builder Development Roadmap

Date: October 26, 2025
Status: Transformation Complete - Active Development Phase
Vision: Resurrect "git push deis main" with modern tooling

🎯 Current Phase: Foundation → Evolution

✅ Transformation Complete (PR #13)

  • Documentation architecture: Professional docs/ structure established
  • Vision definition: Complete hephy-builder roadmap and heritage preservation
  • Community foundation: 18 GitHub issues created for contributor onboarding
  • Heritage documentation: Deis Workflow story preserved in docs/lore/
  • Implementation roadmap: Clear path from MVP to full "git push hephy main" experience

🚀 Active Development Areas

  1. Backend Diversification: Ko, Spin, BuildKit integration (Issues #11, #12, #14)
  2. Platform Portability: GitHub Actions support (Issue #15)
  3. Git Server Development: Real-time log streaming for "git push hephy main" (Issues #17, #18)
  4. Infrastructure Scaling: Multi-arch NodePool deployment (Issue #16)

Documentation Audit & Cleanup Plan

Keep - Core Documentation

Document Status Purpose
README.md ✅ Updated Main project overview, status, quick start
SPEC.md 🔄 Needs Update Original specification (mark MVP complete)
.gitlab-ci.yml ✅ Current Core pipeline implementation
AGENTS.md 🔄 Update Required AI assistant context (update blocking issues)

Cold Storage - Resolved Issues

Document Action Reason
CIRCULAR_DEPENDENCY_RESOLUTION.md → attic/cold-storage/ Issue resolved, information preserved in README
CRANE_DEBUG_ANALYSIS.md → attic/cold-storage/ Issue #4 resolved, debugging complete
ISSUE_4_IMPLEMENTATION.md → attic/cold-storage/ Issue #4 closed, implementation complete
SUCCESS_STATUS.md → attic/cold-storage/ Milestone documentation, info migrated
FINAL_SUCCESS_SUMMARY.md → attic/cold-storage/ Celebration doc, achievements recorded

Retire - Outdated Planning

Document Action Reason
TODAY_DEPLOYMENT_PLAN.md → Delete Outdated daily plan
DEPLOYMENT.md → attic/cold-storage/ Infrastructure deployed, info migrated
IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md → attic/cold-storage/ Implementation complete
MANUAL_BUILD_PROCESS.md → attic/cold-storage/ Deferred approach, external Kaniko adopted

Create - Missing Documentation

Document Priority Purpose
ARCHITECTURE.md High Pipeline architecture, component interaction
DEVELOPMENT.md Medium Local development, testing, contribution guide
TROUBLESHOOTING.md Medium Common issues, debugging procedures
EXAMPLES.md Low Sample build configs, use cases

Product Roadmap - Post-MVP

Phase 7: Stability & Polish (Current)

Goal: Hardening and user experience improvements

  • ✅ Documentation cleanup (this plan)
  • ⚪ Comprehensive testing suite
  • ⚪ Performance monitoring
  • ⚪ Error handling improvements

Phase 8: Advanced Features (Next)

Goal: Enhanced build capabilities

  • ⚪ Issue #3: Multi-target builds (Kaniko variants from single repo)
  • ⚪ Dependency Graph System: Controlled build ordering
  • ⚪ Build caching: Optimize performance
  • ⚪ Parallel optimization: Improve build times

Phase 9: Integration & Adoption (Future)

Goal: Real-world usage

  • ⚪ Enterprise applications: CVE remediation use cases
  • ⚪ Additional use cases: Identify and implement
  • ⚪ Monitoring & metrics: Observability
  • ⚪ Documentation for users: User guides, best practices

Phase 10: Ecosystem & Scale (Long-term)

Goal: Platform capabilities and ecosystem growth

  • ⚪ Plugin system: Extensible build steps
  • ⚪ Multi-cloud support: Beyond ECR
  • ⚪ Security hardening: Supply chain security
  • ⚪ Community features: Shared configs, templates

Success Metrics

MVP Metrics (Achieved)

  • Multi-arch support: Both AMD64 and ARM64 builds functional
  • Remote build support: GitHub repository integration validated
  • Professional tagging: Additional tags functional
  • Clean architecture: No circular dependencies

Post-MVP Targets

  • Build time optimization: < 5 minutes for typical builds
  • User adoption: 3+ real-world use cases implemented
  • Documentation quality: Complete user guide and troubleshooting
  • Test coverage: Comprehensive E2E testing suite

Immediate Next Steps

1. Documentation Cleanup (This Week)

  • Execute cold storage protocol for resolved issues
  • Update SPEC.md to mark MVP complete
  • Create ARCHITECTURE.md with current design
  • Update AGENTS.md with new status

2. Issue #3 Planning (Next)

  • Research Kaniko multi-target builds
  • Design enhanced build-config.yaml format
  • Plan implementation approach

3. Dependency Graph Design (Future)

  • Design build dependency specification
  • Plan topological sort implementation
  • Create controlled build ordering system

Cold Storage Execution Plan

Following the established protocol in attic/cold-storage/README.md:

Immediate Retirements

  1. CIRCULAR_DEPENDENCY_RESOLUTION.md → Issue resolved, circular deps eliminated
  2. CRANE_DEBUG_ANALYSIS.md → Issue #4 closed, debugging complete
  3. ISSUE_4_IMPLEMENTATION.md → Implementation finished, additional tags working
  4. SUCCESS_STATUS.md → Milestone achieved, info preserved in README
  5. FINAL_SUCCESS_SUMMARY.md → Achievement documented, no longer needed

Create Retirement Records

Each retirement will include .retired-FILENAME.md with:

  • Original purpose
  • Issues addressed (with CLOSED status)
  • Information migration paths
  • Verification checklist

Summary

The MVP has been successfully delivered and validated in sandbox environment.

Next steps:

  1. Clean up documentation following cold storage protocol
  2. Plan the next phase of advanced features
  3. Prepare for real-world adoption with enterprise use cases

The foundation is functional for continued development.
