Story

As a user of RHDH, I want to have the ability to create backend modules to access the required integration services for potential software catalog discovery.

Background

There are a number of potential features that have been created to retrieve potential entities for the software catalog. If we could include the ability to craft backend modules for the Bulk Import plugin, this could simplify future development for these integration pieces.

Ideally, the core logic for ingestion could stay within the Bulk Import plugin (this could potentially include the GitHub plugin in the event that we need some form of integration) and current additional integration pieces (GitLab) and any future integrations could be moved to backend plugin modules.

Dependencies and Blockers

QE impacted work

Documentation impacted work

Acceptance Criteria

Core logic required for module creation

A backend module (we could convert the GitLab integration into a backend module)

Upstream documentation updates (design docs, release notes etc)

Technical enablement / Demo
