Concourse
Concourse is a container-based continuous thing-doer written in Go
Built on the simple mechanics of resources, tasks, and jobs, Concourse presents a general approach to automation that makes it great for CI/CD. Concourse is designed to be expressive, versatile, and safe, remaining intuitive as the complexity of your project grows. A Concourse pipeline is like a distributed, continuous Makefile. Each job has a build plan declaring the job's input resources and what to run with them when they change. Your pipeline is then visualized in the web UI, taking only one click to get from a failed job to seeing why it failed. The visualization provides a "gut check" feedback loop: if it looks wrong, it probably is wrong. Jobs can depend on other jobs by configuring passed constraints. The resulting chain of jobs and resources is a dependency graph that continuously pushes your project forward, from source code to production. -

EARTHLY
The effortless CI/CD framework that runs anywhere
Share compute and cache with Earthly Satellites. Build remotely from the comfort of your terminal. Satellites use the code in your current directory, stream logs back to you in real time, and output results (images, artifacts) back to your laptop. When used from a CI, Earthly Satellites can be used to speed up builds, as the cache is retained between runs. Earthly was engineered for readability. Most engineers are able to read an Earthfile without any prior knowledge. We took some of the best ideas from Dockerfiles and Makefiles and combined them into one specification. Earthly builds are self-contained, isolated and repeatable. Regardless of whether Earthly runs in your CI or on your laptop, the build will run the same way. This allows for faster iteration and easier debugging. Unlock your team's full productivity by eliminating "works on my machine but not in CI" blockers. -

Open Source CI/CD Tools Guide
Open source CI/CD tools are software solutions that enable organizations to automate the processes of building, testing and deploying applications. They are designed to expedite the release of new products or services, allowing teams to move faster and improve their time-to-market agility. Commonly used in DevOps environments, open source CI/CD tools can help reduce manual errors and streamline the build, test and deployment process for development teams.
These open source automated environment management tools allow for continuous integration (CI), which automates the process of merging code branches back into a main branch through various stages such as unit tests, static code analysis and version control. Continuous delivery (CD) is an automated deployment workflow that eliminates manual steps in the deployment process. This allows developers to focus on developing features instead of managing deployments. As part of CD, automated testing ensures all changes don’t break existing features or introduce bugs into a production environment.
Examples of popular open source CI/CD tools include Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, TravisCI and CircleCI. Each platform offers different advantages when it comes to configuring pipelines or delivering fast results with minimal effort from a team’s perspective; however they all share some common characteristics such as cloud management capabilities for managing resources (e.g., Infrastructure as Code) via scripting languages (such as Ruby). In addition, platforms typically have APIs that allow users to integrate with other systems like databases or external webhooks for more advanced automation scenarios such as triggering builds based on certain events from third party services. Finally these types of open source platforms may also provide additional security benefits by leveraging technologies like containerization which ensure applications are securely sandboxed away from any potential attack vectors outside your network infrastructure enabling teams to confidently build & deploy without worrying about data breaches etc
