Experience
Terraform DSL in Ruby
https://github.com/tlopo-ruby/tfwFor years, I was templating Terraform configuration with ERB and Jinja, that's a reasonable way to avoid repetition in Terraform, but it's not very flexible nor reusable.
The solution was writing a tool that mimics Terraform usage but writes configuration in plain Ruby.
Flat Is a Command Line Tool to Flatten JSON and YAML's Structures
https://github.com/tlopo-ruby/flatIt also helps me when writing Kubernetes, Helm charts, and CloudFormation files.
