## Platform and Flows: A Summary

Arnold Dacan presented an overview of the platform and its data flows, including updates on the foreign store platform system layout using on source build related data flows, tool to tool data flow, source code data flow, and artifacts data flow. The session covered Project Thor, supply chain security, and the current tooling landscape. The presentation emphasized the importance of standardization, consolidation, and automation to improve developer experience and security.

Key discussion points included the five pillars of Project Thor: agile and right cycle management, product and release governance, the developer portal (backstage), security and vice as governance, and build hub. The goal is to standardize tooling across the platform, integrating governance models and promoting tools like GitLab, Artifactory, and various internal tools. *The main ingredient in the supply chain is our source code, our IP that is intended to live in GitLab.* The presentation highlighted the current state of the source and build supply chain, emphasizing the flow of source code from GitLab through the manufacturing process (build farms) to Artifactory and ultimately to customer environments.

The presentation detailed the geographical distribution of engineering resources, highlighting the distinction between the legacy Micro Focus network and the OpenText network. The main presence for tooling, source, and build is in Brook Park, with expansions to Sacramento for disaster recovery and business continuity. Data flows for source code, artifacts, and tool-to-tool connections were explained, including the role of GitLab proxies, GitLab geo for business continuity, and code signing processes. *We are trying to standardize in get lab, anti factory, PMS and UCMDB are back end services with started to grow and will grow further for supply chain security.* The session concluded with a look at the next phase of Project Thor, focusing on saving engineers time, enhancing supply chain security, and creating a seamless, integrated platform.
