Talk Proposal: Building non-deterministic CI gates: Teaching your CI/CD pipeline to think. #187
Description
- Draft Title:: Building non-deterministic CI gates: Teaching your CI/CD pipeline to think.
- Length: 10-20 min full presentation
- Links: N/A
Summary:
Traditional CI checks are deterministic—same input, same output, every time. But what if your pipeline could understand context? In this talk, I'll show how to build non-deterministic CI gates using the GitHub Copilot SDK and Microsoft WorkIQ, and other integrations that catch nuanced violations deterministic tools miss.
We'll cover a PIPA BC privacy compliance gate that analyzes a JS/TS Medical API for consent verification and PHI logging, plus a decision compliance check that queries your M365 meetings to fail PRs that violate team agreements. You'll leave knowing when to use each approach and how to implement them as complementary layers of defense.
