Welcome to flyingsquirrel.cloud
A unique space where the agility and dynamism of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) meet the ingenuity of the flying squirrel. Our journey began with a simple realization: the world of IaC, much like the realm of squirrels, is evolving rapidly. Here, we celebrate this evolution, focusing not on comparisons but on embracing the enhanced capabilities that modern IaC practices bring.
The Story Behind flyingsquirrel.cloud
In the dense forest of technology, traditional squirrels – or, in our analogy, domain-specific IaC approaches – have been remarkably effective. They represent the sturdy, reliable practices that have built the foundation of our cloud infrastructures. However, just like in nature, evolution favors the bold. Enter the flying squirrel, the embodiment of IaC's evolution into using general programming languages. These "flying squirrels" in the IaC world are quicker, more adaptable, and incredibly efficient in navigating the complex canopy of cloud computing.
Our Mission: Celebrating the 'Flying Squirrels' of IaC
At flyingsquirrel.cloud, our mission is twofold. Firstly, we celebrate those who have already taken the leap, transforming into the flying squirrels of the IaC world. Secondly, we provide insights and guidance for those aspiring to make this evolutionary leap. We recognize the diversity in the ecosystem and remain agnostic to specific IaC SDK libraries and cloud platforms. Whether you're using Terraform CDK, AWS CDK, Pulumi, or others, our content is tailored to help you soar.
What We Do and Don't Do
Our focus is not to compare the IaC Domain Specific Language approach with the General Programming Language approach. Each has its unique strengths, much like how every creature in the forest plays a role in the ecosystem. We acknowledge that individual preferences and organizational needs drive the choice of IaC tools, and we're not here to sway you otherwise.
Moreover, we remain neutral in the cloud platform debate. Our content is crafted to be universally applicable, regardless of your preferred cloud habitat.
Navigating the IaC Ecosystem with flyingsquirrel.cloud
Through our blog content, we'll delve into IaC development patterns that enable rapid, efficient cloud solution development. These patterns are designed to be SDK library and cloud platform agnostic, ensuring relevance and applicability regardless of your tool set.
Join us as we explore the ever-evolving world of IaC, learning to glide through the complexities with the grace and agility of a flying squirrel. Welcome to flyingsquirrel.cloud – where evolution meets innovation in the world of cloud infrastructure.
