Introduction to DSCI

Posted by melezhik on Sunday February 15, 2026 @11:55AM
from the self-post dept.

DSCI is a ci pipeline framework integrated with some existed cicd systems like gitea/firgejo/gitlab via web hooks and allowing authors to use general programming languages to write cicd code. It provides SDK for many programming languages. SDK helps process input parameters, write plugins, pass results between tasks and jobs, handle secrets, enable self tests, etc

Target auditory - self hosted cicd systems with devops using general programming languages instead of yaml

Disclosure - Feel free to ask me any questions or provide constructive feedback - I am the tool author

Thanks

Links to Forgejo and CI are broken in the README. I wanted to fix them, but I'm not even sure where the [~ci] link should lead.

The approach of using general programming languages instead of YAML for CI/CD is refreshing. I've seen too many teams struggle with YAML's complexity and limitations in complex pipelines. Being able to write actual code with proper IDE support, testing, and debugging is a game-changer. The SDK approach is smart too - makes it extensible across languages. Have you considered integration with GitHub Actions beyond the existing ones? That would significantly expand the user base.

The first section in the introduction describes a YAML file. Bait and switch?

Hi! Dsci tool author here. Thanks for attention .

1. The post is written by me, not generated by AI

2. It’s better to browse documentation from http://deadsimpleci.sparrowhub.io/doc/README that way all links should work , sorry for confusion

3. Adding GH action integration should be easy , added this to my todo list

4. Yes on the top pipeline structure there is a bit of yaml - it’s only required to reference linear list of jobs - jobs themselves are written in general programming languages . Probably in the simplest form I can even drop this first level yaml … will see , but imho I bit of yaml to structure out the list of jobs is ok, it’s not ok to embed into it action code, shell scripts , etc - to have nightmare of code to maintain and extend … the very idea that dsci is about

5. For people curious to play with there is forgejo public instance already set with dsci - http://deadsimpleci.sparrowhub.io/doc/demo
