It seems we had roughly the same idea, an intermediate layer/DSL which is used by a generic front-end, that can control different back-ends. Looks like we have a slightly different focus (both in terms of front-end, back-end, and how to describe tasks), but I find it highly interesting and educational to look at your design and architecture, and compare it to what I came up with.
Instead of languages as back-ends, for example, I'm targeting frameworks (Ansible, Terraform, although I also intend to add a shell and powershell adapter). And I'm only just now starting to think about how to feed one tasks output into the next tasks input. I'll have a look how you did this, to get some inspiration, hope you don't mind :-)
- melezhik 7y agoThank you very much. At least much better response then on reddit ;-)) Feel free to "steal" design, it's opensource ... Freckles looks interesting ...
- _frkl 7y agoHa, I know exactly what you mean, Reddit is scary, esp. when you show them something you build very dear to your heart. If you are lucky, they just ignore you... :-)
- melezhik 7y agoYeah, I'd say for some reasons _some_ people here seem to ignore something not passing pattern: ansible|docker|terraform sigh ...
