Proposed: Add build notifications

Context and Problem Statement

Add build notifications because we do not know when a build completed in the CI system to test it.

Decision Drivers

  • Channels people use

Considered Options

  • Email notifications
  • Discord webhook notifications

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: Discord webhooks

Positive Consequences

  • Know when to test
  • System stability

Negative Consequences

  • Engineering effort

Pros and Cons of the Options

Email notifications

Use the existing gocd email notifier.

  • Good, because email is common
  • Bad, not everyone wants to use email

Discord

Make a gocd Discord notifier

  • Good, because everyone is on discord
  • Bad, because engineering needs to be done.
