Abstract

This paper presents a DevOps platform, called Embrapa I/O, which implements a software development macro process for Digital Agriculture. The tool has pipelines that automate continuous testing, integration, delivery and implementation tasks, mitigating the burden of these activities, streamlining the construction of digital assets and optimizing the workforce. In addition, the platform establishes the concept of boilerplates for digital agriculture, which foster a collaborative community and implement similarities, guidelines and good development practices. Finally, it actively monitors all assets in three distinct ways: bug tracking, analytical usage reporting, and threat and vulnerability detection.
