Hi there! :wave: We have a lot of pipelines that are dynamically generated based on dependency (and “what changed”) information from elsewhere. :sparkles::mage: Here’s a high-level one of such pipelines, which mostly just triggers other pipelines and waits for their results: [42%20pm] The actua…

Good news everyone! Step Dependencies is now out of beta :tada: [image] Introducing pipeline step dependencies We've added support for defining step dependencies in your pipeline configuration, allowing you to minimize the wait times in your builds ⏭

I just increased your user level, and upped those default limits. Sorry about that! :blush:

Thank you! :smiley: I’ve replaced the imgur links with inline images. :tada:

Big +1 for this. We’re at the point where not having a way to imply dependancies as a first class feature means we’re looking at a choice between incurring considerable costs in terms of extra build time or writing our own implementation of DAGS, which will not only be costly in terms of developer t…

This is something we’re very keen on too. We probably won’t support a DAG initially, the present thinking is that we’ll support groups of steps, where multiple groups can run in parallel.

Here’s a more complete view of the dependencies in our top-level pipeline: [55%20pm] Note that depending on what code has changed since {last build from which we can re-use artefacts} different jobs in this graph may be present or absent. Our “subordinate” pipelines that are triggered by this one…

+1 I am trying to model this CircleCI workflow, and buildkite is giving me a really hard time with that. [workflow]

We’re looking into replacing our TeamCity setup with buildkite, but the lack of DAG-style dependencies is one of my biggest hesitations.

It’s something we have in private-alpha presently, it’s very likely to be a thing at least in terms of scheduling. We’re undecided on how we’ll expose it in the UI.

Would love to see this functionality! We currently have some pretty complex workarounds using a combination of dynamic and trigger pipelines.

@Sam :wave: if you shoot us an email at support@buildkite.com , I’ll send get you some docs on what we have so far so you can start to have a play and experiment :rocket:

That would be great! done.

Thanks Keith
