And another from me:
- things like the branch scan job or diff generation when a merge
proposal is created, plus other similar examples
Basically, workflow which is currently implemented using cron jobs and
database updates as essentially the task trigger mechanism should be
migrate to a solution based on message queues IMHO.
Longer term, since I think rabbit is XA compliant, then this opens up
more scope for better managing more complex workflow task failures and
ensuring, when absolutely required, overall system consistency etc.
