  • Telegraf

    The plugin-driven server agent for collecting & reporting metrics.

  • Back when I was using AWS CloudFormation, I found a need to use Troposphere [0] to do some logic that couldn't be done in CloudFormation itself. When I switched to Terraform most of those problems went away since there is even better ways to perform simple programming logic in it.

    Maybe there are some use cases where you still need to perform logic outside of Terraform where AsCode could be useful to some people.

    I've seen the Starlark configuration language used in other places, such as Telegraf [0], but I think this is an interesting use of it.
