What’s New
Dynamic config via Setup workflows is now generally available for customers to use CircleCI jobs to generate pipeline parameters and configurations. These generated parameters and configurations are appended to the existing pipeline and enable customers to dynamically generate configurations based on runtime inputs. Since this functionality is already used in existing workflows/jobs structure, orbs can be used as part of setup workflows, which will enable you, and the community at large, to cover different dynamic configuration use cases by building orbs for different use cases.
One specific use case that has been enabled by setup workflows is path filtering, where you can determine which workflows should be run based on which files are modified (determined via a set of Git operations in a script). This is a key feature if you are using monorepos and will help you optimize your build processes. An orb also been developed to assist you in enabling path filtering.
