attr_json VS Pulumi

https://github.com/jrochkind/attr_json (by me)

I myself maintain one solution meant for rails attributes stored in a json column, at https://github.com/jrochkind/attr_json

One of these two should do the trick: https://github.com/jrochkind/attr_json https://github.com/DmitryTsepelev/store_model

I also have a similar "competing" in some ways gem at: https://github.com/jrochkind/attr_json

Some relational databases like Postgres and MySQL support JSON columns. This is useful if, for example, you want to create an ecommerce application with a products table with many variations - what is called Single Table Inheritance (STI). You can have some regular columns for the common attributes, and a JSON column for the specific ones.

If your app is built with Rails, you can use this library to help you on that (I'm not affiliated with it): https://github.com/jrochkind/attr_json

If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an important part of any true hosting operation in the public cloud. Each of these platforms has their own IaC solution, e.g. AWS CloudFormation. But they also support popular open-source IaC tools like Pulumi or Terraform. A category of tools that also needs to be discussed is API gateways and other app-specific load balancers. There are applications for internal consumption, which can be called microservices if you have a lot of them. And often microservices use advanced networking options such as a service mesh instead of just the native private network offered by a VPC.

funny, to me systemd == no docker, no containers, just a VM.

it's my goto way to keep my programming running and have it be restarted if the vm reboots. I use VMs like "pods". I deploy code directly to the VM and run it there along with other programs. I scale up an scale down with: https://www.pulumi.com/

Pulumi — Modern infrastructure as a code platform that allows you to use familiar programming languages and tools to build, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure.

A move like this may have an impact in other open source projects. Take Pulumi, for instance, people might avoid choosing it now that the Linux Foundation have its own IaC tool, and for newer, smaller projects it will probably be impossible to compete with a project under the Linux name.

Another alternative to writing an operator would be to rely on kustomize or https://www.pulumi.com/.

Pulumi

Would it make sense to say Dagger is to Pulumi [1], as Terraform is to Togomak?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your infrastructure using code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of resources such as virtual machines, load balancers, and databases. Tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation can help.
