AI Coding:DAP Events

The DAP Events functional team within AI Coding, building the event platform and trigger capabilities for GitLab Duo Flows.

Overview

The DAP Events team is building the event platform and trigger system that enables GitLab Duo Flows to run automatically in response to events across the development lifecycle. Flow Triggers are database objects that associate projects with flows and a dedicated service account, firing when matching events occur. The platform supports internal GitLab event types (code pushes, issue and MR changes, CI/CD pipeline results, deployments, and more) as well as custom external events from third-party tools like Jira, Jenkins, and Slack, published via gRPC CloudEvents to GitLab Relay. Events are streamed through a pluggable message broker (e.g., Redis, NATS) and executed asynchronously via Sidekiq workers.
