  • Why the fuck are we templating YAML? (2019)

    > These same feelings extend to other proprietary config languages like HCL for Terraform, ASL for AWS Step Functions, etc. It's fine that you want a declarative API, but let me generate my declaration programatically.

    Yeah, I've had the same sort of opinion since the bad old AWS CloudFormation days. I wrote an experimental CloudFormation generator 4 years ago where all of the resources and Python type hints were generated from a JSON file that AWS published and it worked really well (https://github.com/weberc2/nimbus/blob/master/examples/src/n...).

    Is that how CDK works? I've only dabbled with it, but it was pretty far from the "generate cloudformation" experience that I had built; I guess I never "saw the light" for CDK. It felt like trading YAML/templating problems for inheritance/magic problems. I'd really like to hear from more people who have used AWS CDK, Terraform's CDK, and/or Pulumi.
