With the official release fast approaching, we continue to add missing features to Space. One feature that was missing was the ability for third-party developers to extend Space. With the introduction of Space Applications, we’ve filled that gap.

Today we’re releasing Issue Boards, our own take on the board concept for issues in Space. In this post, we’ll explain how this tool can help you organize and prioritize your work, whether you adhere to Scrum, Kanban, or a mixed process.

Quality gates are a quality control technique used in collaborative software development. Though it’s quite a broad term, Space currently uses it only for merge request workflows. Simply put, a quality gate is a set of conditions that needs to be met before you can merge your commit into a protected branch (for example, the master). Let’s take a look at them in more detail. Types of quality gates Code review approvals, which must come from specified team members. Successfully completed Automation jobs. An external check, which passes if an external service approves the merge request by sendin

Building an extensible platform is an essential part of our vision for Space. This manifesto should shed some light on what can be extended in Space, as well as how it can be extended.

No matter what your role is, you likely work with documents every day. We use them for everything, from preparing notes before and after meetings to working on drafts of blog posts. Documents provide a great format for sharing knowledge, information, ideas, and decisions, so everyone in the organization can stay informed about what they need to know. When you work in an organization, it’s increasingly important to have streamlined methods for storing, sharing, and collaborating on content. Whether the documents you want to add are project plans, decisions, or postmortems, they will be easier t

One of the best things about the Space Automation DSL is that it's based on Kotlin script. This means not only that you can use pure Kotlin inside your build scripts but also that you can reference any external .jar libraries.

During this session, JetBrains Developer Advocate Maarten Balliauw introduced many of the concepts behind Space Automation. He also discussed the automation DSL, running builds, publishing to the Space package registry, secrets and parameters, and much more! Evgeniy Koshkin, Automation Team Lead, hosted a Q&A session after Maarten’s talk.

Currently, Docker containers are the main execution environment in Space Automation. So, what can you basically run inside the containers? These are: shell scripts, arbitrary Kotlin code, and container image commands. Let's take a look at how you can do all of these.

Now that the "high season" has come to a close and we are getting back into our routines, we’d like to tell you how Space can help you track your next well-deserved vacation.

Join us on October 6, 2020 for a free live webinar, Introduction to Automation: CI/CD in Space. Explore Space Automation concepts, and learn how you can run CI/CD activities in Space to build, test, and deploy your project.

Space Automation, one of the most popular planned features among our early adopters during the EAP, is now available to all Space Beta customers. With Automation, you can run your CI/CD activities in Space to build, test, and deploy your project.

Once again, we're extending the list of repository types supported by Space Packages. Now it's time for npm registries! Let's take a look at the basics: how you can create an npm registry, and how you can publish and get npm packages – all this right inside your Space instance.
