Houston Core

Mission Control for your projects and teams.

Houston interfaces with your version-control, ticket-tracking, continuous integration, and other systems to stitch together a picture of your projects and teams.

It makes it easy to set up triggers to perform tasks like:

• Resolving an exception report when a commit that mentions it is deployed
• Slacking team members when a pull request is labeled or unlabeled
• Notifying a committer when their commit breaks a test

And it provides a foundation for custom views like dashboards and reports.

Houston is also extensible through Modules like:

• Houston::Slack, which gives Houston the ability to listen to messages—and respond—via Slack
• Houston::Alerts, which gives Houston the ability to treat tasks from arbitrary sources as a unified queue
• Houston::Feedback, which adds a view for quickly importing, tagging, and searching customer feedback
• Houston::Roadmaps, which adds a view for planning project milestones

To use Houston, you must have

• Ruby 2.0+
• Postgres 9.4+
