Atomist launches to help developers automate repository creation and code deployment
0Atomist launches to help developers automate repository creation and code deployment.
A new company emerged from stealth today, aimed at helping developers better automate the work they’re doing. Called Atomist, it’s designed to help developers automatically create source code repositories and then automate the deployment of their code in a way that helps ensure quality while maintaining the velocity of rapid changes.
Atomist is supposed to help businesses get to the point where they’re able to deliver rapid code changes much like large tech titans, without requiring the technical know-how wrapped up in those larger organizations.
The system is built on top of a graph database that takes information about a company’s codebase, users, and usage patterns to help better understand the way people work. That information is used to help contextualize different code changes so that it’s possible for Atomist to understand when people are pushing major updates versus minor changes.
