It’s another monthly burst of news about bors-ng:
- A continuous integration bot.
- Awaits reviewer approval on PRs, builds them as though they were merged, only merges on green.
- Updates PR with merge status.
— as described by CockroachDB’s maintainers
In the last month, we landed 17 PRs in the bors-ng repository.
“This Month in Bors” is written in public on GitHub. If you find a mistake, pull requests or issue reports are appreciated!

Who’s using bors?
This month’s featured user is Fusion Dealership Systems, who write software used by car dealerships out of South Africa. They’ve open sourced pretty much everything they develop that isn’t directly related to selling cars, like their search indexing microservice, blob store microservice, and many upstream contributions to Twisted Python.
One of their employees, mithrandi, helped us get a good, official Docker image for bors-ng that works in the same infrastructure that they run all their other stuff in. Thanks for being an early adopter and helping find all the kinks in our deploy story, Fusion!
