J-Fall 2023: Falling in love with json(net) – Jakub Marchwicki

JSON is a piece of technology clearly involving simultaneous or alternating emotions of love and hate. Mostly hate. At the same time people (over)use it everywhere. Kubernetes cluster configuration – checked. Grafana (or any other monitoring) dashboard – checked. Managing AWS account permissions – checked. At the same time, we strive for infrastructure as code so the codebase keeps growing and growing with copy-and-paste “templates” managed via string replacement. But we can do better. In this short talk I’d like to take you to the world of jsonnet – a configuration language not just a data format. We will walk through the basics and see how to keep sanity when working with configurations.
