Cloud Development Kit

Coding your infrastructure is a powerful way make cloud as transparent as possible. AWS CDK has become popular because of that.

But how can we implement the same on Taubyte?

Taubyte does not use APIs for resource declaration/provisioning, but rather git. So this is how I propose it being implemented:

• Developer defines an 'export' folder under .taubyte
• The repository code is built
• If successful, the code inside 'export' is executed on a freshly cloned configuration repository
• If no issue, config changes are pushed & assets from code build are published.

Let's dig deeper into export:
We already have great way, go-schema, to alter configuration repository. It's used by tau-cli.
I think go-schema will compile to wasm/wasi. if not we can make it. Then we can use for example extism to create cdk in popular languages while only keeping one core implementation in go.
