I’m interested in developing an open-source platform similar to Azure DevOps. The goal is to build it incrementally, starting with a few basic features. For the first iteration, what essential components and functionalities should I focus on implementing?

I want to ensure a solid foundation that can be expanded upon in future iterations. Any advice on the initial setup and must-have features would be greatly appreciated!

I considered using the AWS SDK to gather all functionalities in one place. However, this approach might restrict users to AWS services, which could limit the platform’s appeal compared to using AWS directly.
