Pulse Actions is a service that listens to retrigger/cancel messages on exchange/treeherder/v1/job-actions and acts upon them using Mozilla CI Tools.

The project was deployed to Heroku today in dry-run mode, i.e., instead of actually making retrigger/cancel requests, Pulse Actions is just logging the requests it would have made.

If this experiment works, it might be possible for Treeherder to use the service for retrigger/cancel requests. That would eliminate the need for users signed in with Persona to enter LDAP credentials to make TH requests (bug 1077053) and would also open a lot of new possibilities (e.g. adding a backfill button to TH using mozci).

This project’s progress is being tracked in bug 1168148.
