Hey HN, Zach here, cofounder of Coherence (withcoherence.com). After over two years supporting customers deploying apps to AWS and GCP we’ve come to the conclusion that developers really want to own the customization and configurability that the public cloud provides without having to write and maintain all the glue code that goes with it.
That’s why we’re launching CNC (https://github.com/coherenceplatform/cnc), an open-source framework that equips developers with the right tools to deploy applications with precision. Rooted in the principles of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using terraform, cnc translates high level service definitions into reference architecture based infrastructure across various environments — whether it’s for development, staging, production, or ephemeral environments. For those who have used AWS's Amplify CLI, think of cnc as a broader, adaptable framework that supports your unique deployment needs.
Check it out and please contribute. We’re excited to see how this project evolves.
