We’re excited to announce the release of GitHub Plugin version 2.0, which adds some new features that increase productivity and reduce the need to context switch between Mattermost and GitHub. As usual, our open source community members have played a key role in developing all of these features and I’d like to say “Thank You!” for their help. Our GitHub plugin is one of the most popular integrations on Mattermost and we use it every day as part of our development process.

As time goes by, I’m looking for solutions that require as little maintenance as possible. One of those is deploying our client web app and our homepage directly on the CDN edge, with GitHub Actions. Not only we don’t need a server to host the app, but the deployment script is also serverless and maintenance-less. This allows me to focus on important tasks, knowing that deployment and serving of the app is always blazing fast.

It is impossible to overestimate the importance of a strong development environment when scaling your team’s capacity. Nowadays, most organizations use Git, and one of the popular and successful development models used by many organizations is Gitflow. When making use of such models, continuous integration (CI) is key as it enables faster project delivery and offers reduced risk and expenses thanks to self-managed and easy-to-control dedicated teams.

First of all, we’re pleased to announce the first release of the GitHub data source. The source code is available at github.com/grafana/github-datasource. Contributions, feature requests, and bug reports are welcome. Using the GitHub data source, Grafana users can visualize data from GitHub’s API. In this blog, we’ll go over some use cases for this handy plugin.
