## What it is
CDS (Continuous Delivery Service) is an enterprise-grade, self-hostable CI/CD and DevOps automation platform written in Go, developed by OVH. It provides a web UI, a powerful CLI (cdsctl), workflow-as-code, horizontally scalable on-demand workers, and extensible plugins for build, test, and deployment pipelines.

## Use cases
- set up a self-hosted continuous integration and delivery platform
- build complex CI/CD workflows with manual gates and rollbacks
- define pipelines as code in my git repository
- run build and deploy jobs on elastic on-demand workers
- automate kubernetes and openstack deployments from CI
- script CI/CD operations from the command line
- give teams self-service pipelines without admin intervention

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted, horizontally scalable CI/CD platform with high availability
- you want workflow-as-code plus a full web UI and CLI
- you need advanced features like manual gates, conditional branches, and rollback steps
- your teams require self-service project management with delegated access rights

## When to avoid
- you just need a simple hosted CI for a small project (GitHub Actions or similar is lighter)
- you don't want to operate your own infrastructure for the CI/CD system
- you depend on a large third-party plugin/marketplace ecosystem rather than writing your own
