Show HN: Gaia – Build pipelines in any programming language • Hacker News Board

Raises the question "what is a pipeline"? I'm assuming you don't mean the "prog | sort" kind of pipeline, but I was no clearer after reading it what you do mean.

Also, make the page display something without 2 different Javascript sources having to be enabled.

Is there an example video somewhere on how this looks in usage?

Hey simplify. Yes, actually when you open the website (https://gaia-pipeline.io) it should automatically start the video. Otherwise, have a look here: https://gaia-pipeline.io/video/gaia.mp4

Yeah, you definitely need a "What are pipelines?" section. From looking over the examples, my impression is this is some kind of job scheduler, like sidekiq.

Looks like a great idea. What's the roadmap for any programming language SDKs in your "Develop Pipelines" section, such as for Rust?

We have just added the support for C++ and currently looking at Rust but it's a bit tricky. There is no official gRPC SDK for Rust but I think we will manage it soon. :-)

I agree with other commenters that it would be really helpful to understand exactly what you mean by "pipeline", and how they can help/improve a project or workflow. What problem does this solve, and how does it solve that problem better than other solutions?

Also, very minor nitpick, but your programming language icons shouldn't be in tags. They appear to be clickable, but do nothing, which gives the appearance that the site is not working as intended.

How does this manage processes? From the example code it looks like your pipeline keeps running?

Thanks for the feedback. I will add that!

To answer your question, a pipeline is a real application which consists of at least one function (we call it job). You can compare it with a Jenkins Pipeline (https://jenkins.io/solutions/pipeline/). Therefore, a pipeline is one flow of automation task which consists of one or more steps.
