Startifact
Startifact is a command line application and Python package for staging and retrieving versioned artifacts in Amazon Web Services.
Features
Configuration is held in Amazon Web Services Systems Manager. Startifact operates consistently across all your CI/CD jobs by default.
Optional metadata can be attached to artifacts at the point of staging then interrogated later.
Configuration, artifacts and metadata are stored across as many regions as you care to provide. Startifact is resilient to outages.
Terms
Say you have a CI/CD build job for a software component named “SugarWater”. This build job produces:
A “dist.tar.gz” file
A hash of “dist.tar.gz”
A semantic version number
In Startifact:
“SugarWater” is a project.
The “dist.tar.gz” file and the semantic version together are an artifact.
The hash is recorded as metadata
