Stop Treating YAML Like a String

Koreo is a data structure orchestration engine. Although it's primarily designed for Kubernetes resource orchestration, Koreo's core functionality can orchestrate and manage virtually any structured data. What Koreo provides today, however, is a new approach to Kubernetes configuration management empowering developers and platform teams through programmable workflows. This approach draws upon the strengths of existing tools like Helm, Kustomize, and Crossplane while addressing some of their limitations.

Configuration Complexity Clock (2012)
(blogspot.com)
When I was a young coder, just starting out in the big scary world of enterprise software, an older, far more experienced chap gave me a stern warning about hard coding values in my software. “They will have to change at some point, and you don’t want to recompile and redeploy your application just to change the VAT tax rate.” I took this advice to heart and soon every value that my application needed was loaded from a huge .ini file.

Writing a Bash builtin in C to parse INI configs
(mbuki-mvuki.org)
Shell languages such as Bash excel at certain tasks, such as gluing programs together or quickly automating a set of command line steps. In contrast to those strengths, using a Shell to parse an INI config file is a bit like writing a poem in mud, you might succeed, but the result will probably be inscrutable and your swear jar will be full!

Ignoring unwanted Terraform attribute changes

I’ve ocassionally found Terraform providers that take an attribute and manipulate it in a way that.. isn’t favourable.

A float walks into a gradual type system
(ruudvanasseldonk.com)
I am building a new configuration language: RCL. It’s a gradually typed superset of json that extends json into a simple functional language that enables abstraction and reuse. Its main purpose is to generate json, yaml, and toml files, but it makes a pretty good json query tool too. Think jq, but without having to ask an LLM to write the query for you.

Terraform Config Root Setups
(resourcely.io)
Terraform is a powerful tool for managing infrastructure as code, but how you organize your configurations can make or break your project’s scalability, maintainability, and team collaboration. At the core of this organization are config roots—the directories where your Terraform configurations live.

Feature Flags vs. Configuration Options – Same Difference?
(cs.cmu.edu)
Having spent over a decade researching configurable systems and software product lines, the phenomenon of feature flags is interesting but also deeply familiar.
