A scalable docker build tool.

Architecture

The design consists of a frontend server which will handle webhooks from various services. The backend simply implements the code to pull down the source and build a docker image which will then be pushed over to a docker registry.

front-github    -> { type: 'git' }       -> backend-git
front-gitlab    -> { type: 'git' }       -> backend-git
front-bitbucket -> { type: 'git' }       -> backend-git
front-bitbucket -> { type: 'mercurial' } -> backend-mercurial

Data is sent into a work queue using the amqp protocol (rabbitmq) to allow to scale out more build servers. It is also possible to persist the events using rabbitmq.
