Hey I just wanted to let you know that I've been working on a tool called Gitlab Pipes.

It basically helps orchestrate multi-project pipelines with Gitlab. You can check out the documentation at Gitlab Pipes Getting Started.

Maybe you can add a reference on your Project Readme as this is a solution for people with larger projects relationships where triggering one off pipelines from downstream projects is not a good solution!

Thanks! 👍

Actually, I stopped working on my project because GitLab is actively adding a whole bunch of features to support everything I was trying to achieve.

One critical piece that is not yet in place is "failure attribution" - so it's possible to kick off pipelines, and wait for them to complete, but there is no way to report back which pipeline failed.

That should be fixed soon.

Hi, and thanks for sharing this project, it is exactly what I was looking for.

Reading your comment above, I was wondering what you meant and had a look at the gitlab docs. In fact, a lot has been added to better handle dependent pipelines - but all of these features are only for Enterprise Edition users. So I think this still has lots of value for users of the open source variant of gitlab (like me).
