Ciclops and CloudNativePG

For completeness, since I’m writing next about glareless, an open source tool I’ve developed, and since I’ve created a new tag “open-source” in my site, here’s an entry about Ciclops, a GitHub action that helps make sense of the test results in a CI/CD pipeline with many “strategy matrix” branches.

I created it Ciclops because in the CloudNativePG github, we had a deluge of testing data that was difficult to make sense of. I wrote a post in the CloudNativePG blog about it, so please refer to that for details and motivation.

I’ve also been a contributor of the upstream CloudNativePG, a Kubernetes operator to run PostgreSQL databases. I had the privilege of working on it as part of my job at EDB from 2021-2025. I’m no longer at EDB but I still contribute code and reviews to CloudNativePG now and then.
