tekton-listener

The project is an addon for tektoncd-pipeline

The tektoncd-pipeline is a k8s native CI/CD tool, it can create pipeline for tasks processing, but there is no trigger to kick off a pipeline unless use kubectl create -f to create a CRD named pipelinerun.

It's not good, so this project is try to build a triger.

The basic idea is:

• Leverage Knative/event-contrib(https://github.com/knative/eventing-contrib) to be a event adepter to introduce different event source, such as github, kafka .etc.
• tekton-listener will create a knative service when a EventBinding is applied. The KSV will standby for eventing from knative/event-contrib and handle the event when received.
• When received event, it will get template from ListenerTemplate and bind the event, then create PipelineResource and PipelineRun to trigger the Pipeline
• Event should be CloudEvent(https://github.com/cloudevents/spec)

For now (2019.6.21) the project is still not complete...
