Buildkite’s Secret Santa 2016 build pipeline, to find out xmas pressie hints from everyone, and notify each of us with who we’re buying for and what their hint was.

How does it work?

The build pipeline:

• pipeline/pipeline.bash - generates the Buildkite pipeline that requests Secret Santa hints from everyone.
• pipeline/readme.bash - the first step in the pipeline that welcomes everyone to this year’s Secret Santa.
• pipeline/magical-unicorns.bash - the last step in the pipeline: a brilliantly red magical unicorn.

The webhook receiver:

• notifier/index.js - the AWS Lambda function that accepts the job.finished webhook from Buildkite, randomly assigns secret santas, and emails everyone with the hint and delivery address.
• notifier/job-event-processor.js - extracts the information submitted by everyone from the webhook’s build meta-data.
• notifier/secret-santa.js - randomly assigns each secret santa based on a determistic seed value for safe re-execution. The seed is read from an environment variable so it can be changed at the last minute, to keep the "secret" in "Secret Santa".

Give it a try
