What is Screwdriver?
Screwdriver is an open source build platform specifically designed for Continuous Delivery. It emphasizes easy configurability and isolation while maintaining strong security principles. The platform allows users to pick and choose plugins that suit their needs and is not tied to any single compute platform.
The tool provides a RESTful, fully documented API and enables users to keep track of their configuration in code. Users can control their own cluster, and Screwdriver is free to use. It supports an expanding list of source code services, execution engines, and databases to integrate seamlessly into various ecosystems.
