Startup Toolkit.

I'd like to see a project of a "startup kit," a collection of opensource tools that are known to work well-enough together: revision control + code review + continuous integration + issue tracking + deployment&configuration.

I don't need perfect, but I would like good-enough.

I suppose this is close to what Atlassian provides, but that's a little too much corporate proprietary synergistic kool-aid for me. Maybe I'm judging too harshly after the Rubicon Atlassian experience, which was soured more by the lack of system and sysadmin resources to upgrade/install/approve the tools than by the tools themselves.

Some options I'm considering now:

• Issue Tracking
  • Trac
  • bugzilla
  • redmine
  • github issue tracker
• Source control
  • git, shared via github private account
• Continuous Integration
  • hudson/jenkins
  • buildbot
  • cruise-control / cruise-control-rb
• Code Review
  • mondrian (hosted by google appengine)
• Configuration management and bootstrapping onto ec2
  • chef (pretty far down the chef road at this point)
  • puppet
  • cfengine
• Monigoring (using all of these for different aspects:
  • nagios
  • ylastic
  • aws console
• statistics and graphs
  • ganglia
• log aggregation
  • splunk -- hadn't considered this, but was suggested by friends at GumGum, to monitor logs across a cloud of app-servers

This should be enough to get a scalable environment for developing, testing and deploying an application. After that, it's time to pick the additional infrastructure pieces needed by the application (data persistance, caching, logging, ... )

TODO(andrew): add links for the projects.
