RCC

RCC is a set of tooling that allows you to create, manage, and distribute Python-based self-contained automation packages - or robots 🤖 as we call them. And run them on soft-containers that have access to rest of your machine.

Together with robot.yaml configuration file, rcc is a foundation that allows anyone to build and share automation with ease.

RCC is actively maintained by Robocorp.

Why use rcc?

  • Are developers manually installing conda or pip packages? Here rcc makes it easier for developers to just worry about getting conda.yaml and robot.yaml right, and then let rcc to do the heavy lifting of keeping environments pristine, clean, and up to date.
  • Have you run into "works on my machine" problem, where the original developer has a working setup, but others have a hard time repeating the experience? In this case, let rcc help you to set up repeatable runtime environments across users and operating systems.
  • Have you experienced "configuration drift", where once working runtime environment dependencies get updated and break your production system? Here rcc can help by either making drift visible or freezing all dependencies so that drifting does not happen.
  • Do you have python programs that have conflicting dependencies? There rcc can help by making dedicated runtime environments for different setups, where different robot.yaml files define what to run and conda.yaml defines runtime environment dependencies
