Template for building next organization technology stack following platform engineering practice
Platform engineering is a modern practice, mutual from DevOps culture. However, for an organization to implement Platform engineering practice in culture. It usually is expensive and take a lot of time. This project aims to create a boilerplate to bootstrap infrastructure. It helps Technology holder to create a platform for developers to do their job, deploy their features to production and do not worry about infrastructure specific specs. Embracing automating, consistency and security.

- Components: networks, observability, VPC, instances, … (k8s & cloud)
- Cloud providers: Implementation manifest specific by cloud provider
- Secrets vault
- Policy: reconciliation policy, network policy, security policy, ...
- Templates
- Sources: application deployment manifest
- Scripts/cli: action command
- Agents: Crossplane, ArgoCD, ...
These software need to be installed and well setup in local machine
Navigate to the repo folder, all software will be automatically installed by direnv and nix setup
~/p/dzungtr> cd platform-next/
direnv: loading ~/project/dzungtr/platform-next/.envrc
direnv: using nix
direnv: export <SOME env var>
List of softwares installed can be tracked in default.nix file. The lab uses kind as k8s cluster distribution to set up local easily. More information, you can reference here https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/
