We tried jsonnet for several months to generate config, but eventually abandoned it because the templates got too hairy. Plus rendering is slow.
We ended making the effort to simplify config of all our app’s components to just read from one large yaml file. Far happier with this solution.
- jkaplowitz 7y agoI think databricks recently released an alternative jsonnet compiler/renderer written in Scala that's faster than the standard Google one (including a workaround for the slowness of JVM startup/shutdown) but compatible with it: https://databricks.com/blog/2018/10/12/writing-a-faster-jsonnet-compiler.html https://databricks.com/blog/2018/10/12/writing-a-faster-json... It was discussed on HN though I don't have the link handy. But sure, if you are okay with a single yaml file, that's certainly simpler.
