GoCD. Is an open source continuous delivery server from ThoughtWorks.

Blurb

GoCD is an open source build and release tool originally conceived and built by Thoughtworks. GoCD supports modern infrastructure and helps enterprise businesses get software delivered faster, safer, and more reliably.

Summary

When to use: maintaining an existing GoCD server; need visual pipeline DAG and artifact promotion semantics teams already understand.

When to skip: greenfield repos; preference for pipeline-as-code in git without a central CD server; GitOps models where cluster state is the source of truth.

Note: operational burden similar to other pet CD servers; treat the server as infrastructure with backups and upgrades planned.
