Welcome to Software Factory’s documentation!¶
Software Factory (also called SF) is a collection of services that provides a powerful platform to build software. It’s optimized to use an OpenStack-based cloud for resources, but this is not mandatory at all.
Setting up a full software development stack manually can really be time-consuming. Software Factory provides an easy way to get everything you need to host, design, modify, test and build software; all of this pre-configured and usable immediately.
Software Factory feature also features automated upgrades, so you don’t have to worry about upgrading each services yourself.

- Version control and code hosting
- Code review system
- Pipelines manager
- Test instances management

Software Factory offers a seamless user experience with:
- Single Sign-On authentication, on every authenticated service
