Eiffel - An open-source event protocol for CI/CD pipelines
summary
Eiffel is an open source, JSON event protocol for CI/CD that Ericsson invented in 2012 and open‑sourced in 2016 and that runs in production at Ericsson, Axis, Volvo Group and Nasdaq. Events have three sections meta/data/links and defined types (activity, artifact, test, source change); links form a graph that traces a commit through build, test, publish and deployment. Implementations include Jenkins plugins and Argo workflows; artifacts move from artifact created → artifact published and confidence levels mark test outcomes for downstream vulnerability tracing.
