Ask HN: Where can I find discussions on build systems?

7 pointsoftenwrong3 comments

I am interested in build systems and related topics. Are there any mailing lists, forums, or other online communities focused on build systems that you would recommend?

Maybe you'll like the CD Foundation which seems to be modeled like its brethren Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) but focuses purely on continuous delivery pipelines and related services.

PS: You don't want to build this stuff yourself, especially since you have stuff like ArgoCD and Tekton well capable to provide the basics ;)

What you are looking for is in the discipline of DevOps. The place to start is by reading The Phoenix Project, by Gene Kim et al. Then you’ll read the Google SRE Book and the DevOps Handbook.

The modern approach is called CI/CD - Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment.

I appreciate the answer, and I may add some of those to my reading list, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I am looking for online communities. Also, I am interested in build systems themselves. Design, implementation and usage of build systems. Build engineering. I have read the SRE book, for example, and it only discusses build systems at a surface level.
