Direct inserts API

[melezhik]

Writing new source adapters seems tedious and not always effective, especially when there is no web hook events in place, my proposal is to have direct insert API ( restish or python API / whatever ) allowing directly manipulate raw table entries, this would be quite effective for users with specific CICD / SCM logical flows not willing to bother with web hooks and events handling, some pseudo code example:

meta = {'commits': ["commit1","commit2"], 'status' : ''successful }

insert_into_raw(
 source="custom_cicd",
 event_type="deploy", 
 metadata=meta
)

Strong agree! What I would like to do is standardize around the CD Events standard.

I have a long-standing TODO to write that up as a proposal in here. But I'd love any initial feedback you might have?
