Houston Core

Mission Control for your projects and team

Houston interfaces with your version-control, ticket-tracking, continuous integration, and other systems to stitch together a picture of your projects and teams.

It makes it easy to set up triggers and notifications like:

• Resolving an exception report when a commit that mentions it is deployed
• Slacking team members when a pull request is labeled or unlabeled
• Notifying a committer when their commit breaks a test

And it provides a foundation for custom views like dashboards and reports.

Houston is also extensible through Modules.
