Absolutely - managing and syncing the state of IaC tools is core to the value of Gallery. Infrastructure templates can be edited without changing currently-active environments, and this is handled gracefully right now. Propagating template updates to running environments seamlessly is also on our roadmap.
- ramish94 5y agoThanks for the reply. It certainly will be an interesting technical challenge to try and propagate changes efficiently. Speaking from experience (I've worked with Terraform a lot the past 2 years), it can be a tough nut to crack, so good luck! I would add one more thing (and this is maybe for down the line): There's a use case for duplicating envs beyond just development environments. There's a lot of value in cases where the SaaS product itself requires on-demand environment generation. Where customers of it need staging instances so they can see what config changes are before they merge to production. Obviously in that case, you're treating an actual product like a terraform provider, and the API's of that product as resources. I would explore that down the line because there's a lot of value in a service like that. FYI, I would love to get involved any way I can to help you guys grow this. Let me know how I can help! mailto:ramish@ualberta.ca if you're interested :)
