A factory needs reliable boundaries with repositories, communication tools, data sources, and deployment targets. Give each connection a clear contract for inputs, outputs, authentication, retries, and failure. Package the resulting software with the instructions and operational signals it needs. Delivery becomes a repeatable stage of the same system that built and checked the work.
What this makes possible
- Forge adapters and normalized pull-request or work-item data
- Agent mailboxes, communication APIs, and event delivery
- Reproducible packaging and deployment foundations
- Content and release workflows with explicit publishing decisions
On the production floor
A release factory collects the accepted changes, builds the package, prepares release material, and performs the configured delivery steps with a traceable result.
How you know it works
Test retry behavior and partial failures at integration boundaries. Check the deployed artifact through its real entry point.
