Roadmap
Disclaimer
This document is a living document and is used for planning. Plans for the unreleased features can change without further notice and hence cannot be used as a guaranteed delivery plan, the features can be delivered both earlier and later.
Roadmap is created based on the backlog and requests from the existing users of Waldur. If you are interested in a specific topic, please reach out to us.
Some of the tasks are common and some are functional, listed below.
Continuous improvements
Documentation
There is no such thing as a perfect documentation so we are constantly working on improving it.
CI/CD
We believe that automation is a key to improving quality of code and happiness of developers, so we are constantly working on improving CI/CD related aspects.
Tests
A good software is a reliable software, so we are always trying to add more sensible tests.
