As infrastructure as code (IaC) becomes a foundational pillar of modern cloud-native and DevOps practices, tools that bridge the gap between existing infrastructure and code are increasingly valuable. One such powerful utility is Terraformer, an open-source tool developed by Google that helps users generate Terraform configurations from existing infrastructure resources. This article thoroughly explores Terraformer, including its architecture, use cases, benefits, challenges, and practical examples.

We recently wrote a Terraform provider for an internal API at Typeform. This allowed us to manage mutable runtime data stored in an API through source files, with good change control, and a nice developer experience. Some of the steps were a little tricky, or required us to trawl through documentation, and I thought to myself: “I hope this is easier next time we do it!”

For a long time, Kubernetes resource management has been synonymous with Helm.

There have been plenty of attempts to replace Helm and its templating miasma known as Charts. But those attempts never seem to stick, sometimes because they’re not different enough, or more often because the size and mass of the Helm ecosystem creates an inertia that’s hard to overcome.

This post explores how Yoke is trying to do the impossible: introducing Flights, a complete alternative to Helm Charts, while bringing Helm along for the ride.

Kwatcher is a Kubernetes operator that:

1. Automatically creates a ConfigMap from data fetched from an external URL using a secured Secret,
