@richiardiandrea is something like https://github.com/brabster/crucible what are you asking about?

richiardiandrea02:04:38

Yeah I saw that, have you used it? I am still unsure if it makes sense to add a layer on top actually

mynomoto02:04:20

I started doing something with the same idea based on plumatic/schema a couple of years ago but it got shelved before getting in a good shape. I like the idea, because I think it composes better than json and if we get some validation it's another plus.

richiardiandrea02:04:19

Yep validation is nice indeed

mynomoto02:04:18

What triggered the start of writing that was that I got tired of rereading the aws cloudformation documentation to look at which combination of options were mandatory. I haven't look at what crucible does but it could validate lots of combinations with spec.

richiardiandrea04:04:07

Yeah if I had doc + better composition + validation then it's definitely worth

@richiardiandrea I’m using https://github.com/juxt/roll It generates terraform instead of cloud formation but same result. works great in bitbucket pipelines CI

oh wow, yes - I’ve been on the “just write CloudFormation instead of using a tool” train for a long time because I’m generally in the position of wanting to use something that just got released and the lag of something like Terraform introduces impedance I don’t want. Being able to use spec as the validation tool AWS has never yet provided to avoid round-trips through standing up resources only to find that I forgot to set this or that key somewhere… that would be really nice

Anyone else use the AWS Java SDK v2 preview?
