DataKit is a service that orchestrates applications through data pipelines using a Git-like filesystem API over 9p. It includes a Git-like database server, a GitHub bridge for syncing repository metadata, and DataKitCI, a continuous integration system built on top of it.
Use cases
- orchestrate build pipelines over version-controlled data
- expose a git repository as a filesystem API
- coordinate services like HyperKit via a shared dataflow database
- sync GitHub pull request metadata into a queryable database
- run a continuous integration system driven by git-like commits
When to choose
- you want UNIX-pipeline-style orchestration with tree-structured data instead of raw text streams
- you need a coordination layer between services using a git-like data model
- you want CI that monitors repositories and stores results in a versioned database
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose production database
- you want an actively developed tool with a large community
- your pipelines work fine with plain shell pipes or modern workflow engines
