SPIKE: Evaluating and Integrating Reusable Workflows from External Repositories

[sukeshreddyg]

User Story

As a Modernisation Platform Engineer I want to implement a SPIKE to evaluate the feasibility of calling reusable workflows from other repositories. This will help in identifying common tasks and replacing them with reusable workflows, allowing for centralized updates

Value / Purpose

• Simplify maintenance, as changes can be made in one central location rather than multiple workflows.
• Minimizing the need to duplicate code across multiple repositories.

Proposal / Unknowns

• The existing workflows have a significant amount of common tasks that can be extracted. (Eg: Slack failure notification)

Definition of Done

• [ ] Completed an audit of existing workflows and identified common tasks suitable for conversion.
• [ ] Confirmed the feasibility of implementing reusable workflows.
• [ ] Successfully created and tested a reusable workflow in a POC.
• [ ] Discuss actions with team
• [ ] Integrated the reusable workflow into at least two workflows from the same or different repositories as a test case.
• [ ] Another team member has reviewed the PoC solution
• [ ] Tests are green
• [ ] raise following issues as necessary
