Using DevOps Toolchains in Agile Model-Driven Engineering

For Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) to become Agile, it is has to be usable with and for DevOps as the technical basis of Agility. We describe our experiences in implementing and applying the BB8 architecture that provides a means to reuse Eclipse-based MDE toolkits within an integrating workflow system. We describe the use of the architecture with in the Gitlab DevOps system and discuss future research fields that emerge as the result of our implementation.
