Technical Initiative

gittuf

Lifecycle Phase

sandbox

Funding amount

$50 a month

Problem Statement

We have been working on a GitHub app for gittuf hosted on Google Cloud. We need cloud credits to serve the app for users who want to add it to their repositories.

Who does this affect?

The solution is for the gittuf developers / maintainers who want to run the app.

Have there been previous attempts to resolve the problem?

No

Why should it be tackled now and by this TI?

gittuf is part of the OpenSSF sandbox, and the GitHub app would help repositories adopt gittuf in a user friendly manner.

Give an idea of what is required to make the funding initiative happen

The cloud credits are approved and gittuf maintainers are given access to Google Cloud via the OpenSSF. Following that, the maintainers (myself, @wlynch, etc.) will operate the GitHub app.

What is going to be needed to deliver this funding initiative?

Cloud credits or access to a Google Cloud project backed by an OpenSSF controlled billing account.

Are there tools or tech that still need to be produced to facilitate the funding initiative?

No response

Give a summary of the requirements that contextualize the costs of the funding initiative

The estimated cost would cover the cost of pulling together several Google Cloud services (cloud run, KMS, secrets management, etc.) to operate the gittuf GitHub app.
