Slack Notifications for Adobe Cloud Manager Pipeline by Initialyze

Abstract

I am super excited to announce our newest Cloud Manager Pipeline Notifications Initialyzer. This Initialyzer app allows you to send your Cloud Manager CI/CD Pipeline Notifications to Slack. It can be deployed as Adobe FireFly App or an AWS Lambda function and, allows you to post all the details your developers need to monitor your Cloud Manager builds, failures, code quality, and deployment status without ever having to log into the Cloud Manager. Contact Us now for a quick demo!

For customers using AEMaaCS, using Cloud Manager is the only way to deploy code to AEM. A lot of Adobe Managed Services customers have also started migrating to the Cloud Manager for their CI/CD pipelines. Chances are, if you have moved to Cloud Manager, you might find monitoring builds in CM as a cumbersome step especially if you used something like Jenkins before and, had notifications configured with Slack, Microsoft teams or email.

With Cloud Manager if a build failure occurs, the developers (who often may not even have access to CM) have to navigate to the Cloud Manager site > view pipeline and download logs to their local before they can analyze them. Based on our experience supporting many enterprise customers, developers are so used to monitoring and receiving build notifications via Slack as part of their standard workflow, and making them jump through hoops to get valuable information is not the most efficient approach.

This is a great idea, but probably too complex and cumbersome for our organisation to implement. To get the agreement to use AWS, and do the due diligence required to onboard them as a supplier is probably 3 months of work, then trying to get a developer allocated to build the software using these apis, and a team to monitor and manage the infrastructure needed to run it puts it out of reach for smaller companies.  

Its a good point - Adobe should provide this kind of service out of the box directly, or at leat to send an email to a mailing list.  how hard could that be for Adobe considering we pay them nearly a million pounds a year.
