Who’s using bors?
This month’s featured user is the Mozilla Product Delivery Team. They build tools to deliver changes to Firefox in-between full releases. They’ve integrated bors into the workflow for several of their projects, and have integrated it into some of their tools. Among other projects, they maintain:
- Normandy, which serves instructions on changes to make in the form of signed and verified “recipes”
- Buildhub, the service that indexes all Firefox builds
- Delivery Console, an admin panel for Normandy (and other backends in the future)
- Mozilla’s distribution of kinto
- Remote Settings a way to manage evergreen data such as add-on block lists in Firefox
