Guarding the gate with Zuul

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Zuul is a gatekeeper that gates merges only after tests pass by listening to Gerrit events, enqueuing jobs to Gearman/Jenkins, merging temporary refs and reporting back a verified vote. It runs predictive multi-repo testing so patches are tested in the exact future state they will be merged, avoids merge races, and supports cross‑project deps. The system manages thousands of jobs across hundreds of projects and is used to gate OpenStack.
