Platform Compiler

What follows is a description of how one might reasonably manage the core configuration of a stateless service platform.

definitions

input - initial inputs that help describe a desired state. includes information such as allowed amis, application manifests, etc
compiler - reads inputs, produces cloudformation templates along with other top-level metadata. (important to note that there could even be multiple compilers)
metadata - top-level, global data that describes ideal state of the platform

Service Platform Components

What follows is a brief description of what comprises a general stateless service platform. It assumed that all stateful services live elsewhere (Heroku Postgres, AWS, etc).

This document aims to show you that a service platform can be built from a few simple ideas without need of anything highly complex or a lot of moving parts.

compiler
