DS (Delivery Station) Kharkevich Engineering Lab

DS (Delivery Station) is a plugin-based CLI meta-application designed to serve as a wrapper and infrastructure manager for OCI artifact tools. It streamlines the management of plugins that handle artifact operations, while providing essential shared services such as configuration management, registry access, caching, and coordination.

Key Features:

• Plugin Management: Install, update, and execute plugins from OCI registries, with support for multi-architecture manifests.
• Unified Configuration: Manage settings across plugins using YAML files, environment variables, or CLI flags, ensuring consistency and ease of use.
• Shared Cache Infrastructure: Enable efficient artifact caching across all plugins to optimize performance and reduce redundancy.
• Inter-Plugin Communication: Facilitate coordination between plugins via an event bus and shared state store, enhancing workflow integration.
• Cross-Platform Support: Operate seamlessly on Linux, macOS, and Windows, broadening its accessibility.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and teams leveraging OCI artifacts, DS simplifies the management of artifact operations by providing a centralized platform. It allows users to streamline workflows, reduce operational overhead, and improve efficiency through shared infrastructure and plugin extensibility. By abstracting complex configurations and managing shared resources, DS empowers teams to focus on their core tasks while ensuring consistency and scalability across their CI/CD pipelines.

DS can be installed via winget for easy setup and integration into existing development environments.
