I can almost follow this but I am at the edge of where I see how it could sound like buzzword gibberish.

I dont blame the author(s) but things are getting more specialized and more terms are created. (which usually maps to an existing term which also maps to an existed term which also maps an existing term and so on.

I have though about trying to create a "terminator"(hah) where you can paste in something from a new product and it will map the terms to existing terms as a sort of translator or term machine.

multi-stage: in this case they mean dev->test->prod

application lifecycle: CI & CD

orchestrator: a thing that runs jobs with dependencies

continuously delivering: CD

promoting changes: if the tests work in the staging environment, allow someone to click a button that says "deploy to prod"

environments: dev, test, staging, production

CD pipelines: a bunch of continuous delivery jobs

cloud-native era: microservices/SaaS/PaaS/IaaS/IaC/II/containerization/webhooks/OIDC

first-class GitOps support: if you push a commit, a job is run

progressive delivery: deploy to 10% of users, if lots of errors, roll back the deploy

100% open source: our code is [currently] available but we will charge you out the ass to manage it for you and Enterprise features will be locked up once we write them

good ones.

I think. orchestrator: a thing that runs jobs with dependencies "make"

Weird thing is, when I read that quote it makes perfect sense.

But I understand how it could look like the undecoded bytefall in the Matrix for those outside the know.
