S-CORE Infrastructure Landscape

Overview, roadmap, contribution guide, and reference

Get oriented in the S-CORE infrastructure landscape.

This site explains what S-CORE infrastructure is, which building blocks already exist, how mature they are, what is still missing, and how a concrete issue or pull request fits into the bigger picture.

Who should read this

Technical and non-technical stakeholders who need an overview, plus infrastructure contributors who need to understand the current state, gaps, and direction of the platform.

Typical reader questions:

  • What do we mean by S-CORE infrastructure?
  • Which infrastructure building blocks already exist?
  • How far along is each area?

What it covers

The technical capabilities that make engineering work possible and scalable across S-CORE: source code management, builds, testing, static analysis, automation, compliance, documentation, operations, developer environments, and security.

What this site is for

An infrastructure overview, a development map for current state and remaining work, a contribution map for infrastructure contributors, and a reference for architecture and cross-cutting concerns.

Typical contributor questions:

  • How do we do a specific thing?
  • Where should I look for a topic or responsibility?
  • How does this issue or PR belong to the big picture?

How To Use A Chapter

1. Pick a topic

Open the area closest to your question, task, or architectural concern.

2. Check maturity

Use the status icon to understand whether the area is established, partial, weak, or still unclear.

3. Look at the gap

Read "Biggest gap" to see what is missing, what remains to be improved, and why the area still matters.

Status Legend
