Multi Project, General Purpose Jobs

CircleCI is currently very tied down to per-project configuration / jobs.
There are ways to pull and work with multiple repositories, but it's not first-class and requires a lot of hacking and configuration (e.g., picking a parent repo, setting up SSH keys to access other repos, making API calls etc.).
Would be nice to support multi-project orchestration for testing microservices apps.
In particular, not just the functionality, but also the ability to visualize multi-project pipelines, how they depend on or affect each other, etc., would be extremely useful.

Absolutely agree — multi-project orchestration is a major need, especially for microservices-based systems. The current workarounds are complex and fragile. Having native support with clear visualization of dependencies across services would be a huge step forward. Hoping CCI-I-1138 gains more traction!
