Developer Tooling & Automation📋

Production here is the developer's toolchain itself — making it faster, automated, and frictionless.

The toolchain is the product. Every CLI tool gets a typed C# wrapper. No raw shell commands — IntelliSense everywhere. One command to build, test, validate. Infrastructure-as-code applied to the developer workflow itself.

CLI as a First-Class API📋

Two wrapping strategies — both produce typed C# APIs with full IntelliSense:

• CLI wrapping (BinaryWrapper) — recursive --help parsing → typed command trees: Docker, Podman, Podman Compose, Packer, Vagrant, GitLab CLI
• JSON schema wrapping — download versioned schemas, merge, annotate [SinceVersion]/[UntilVersion]: DockerCompose.Bundle (57 schema versions)
• No raw shell commands, no string arguments — every tool gets IntelliSense

Local Build Pipelines📋

• Pre-push quality gates — unit tests + smoke Playwright + compliance scan, all local
• GitLab CI/CD — pipelines for NuGet package publishing and container registry
• Quality gates that fail locally, before code ever leaves the machine

Scripting & Automation📋

• PowerShell 7+ — 30+ modules: dev shell profile, container lifecycle, version discovery
• Bash — container provisioning, CI scripts
• Structured logging, tab completers, cmdlets

Container & Orchestration📋

• Docker — multi-stage Dockerfile optimizations, Docker Compose scripting for X.P. workflows
• Kubernetes (K8S) — auto-scaling distributed workers and queues (BIM&CO)
• Git migration automation — scripted migrations from GitLab to GitHub to Azure (BIM&CO)

Developer Infrastructure📋

• On-premises GitLab CE — self-hosted Git, package registry, container registry
• Traefik reverse proxy for local service routing
• Alpine Linux provisioning and hardening (dev/test VMs)
• Integration-tested software factory — C# unit tests validating the full stack creation: Packer → Vagrant → Debian → GitLab CE → GitLab Runner → Docker Registry
