Improved Continuous Integration for Reactome

Currently, at the Ontario Institute of Cancer Research, Jenkins is being used to run the release pipelines and this project proposes moving the system into a more automated format – to use Docker containers with a CI/CD-based system. In the standard release process, as project code will be built and pushed to the main branch for each GitHub repository, as a result, multiple dependencies would also be triggered to be built as well. In this way, we will know if a change in a dependency has correctly integrated into the broader code base. A lot of this testing is done manually, so automating this system can make the time frame for making a release much smaller. With a continuous integration system, we will integrate these artifacts with the release ETL (Extract Transform Load) pipelines.
