Dhall Configuration Language

At the risk of sounding clichè/unhelpful. > “you can solve every problem by adding or removing an abstraction layer” Have you considered generating your YAML/JSON config with something that composes? If you are open to it you might be interested in dhall [1] as it’s a config language with variables, functions and imports. I have used it for pet projects and I could see how it could offer some tidy encapsulation patterns for larger, more complicated production applications. [1]: https://dhall-lang.org/.

Traefik

Https://traefik.io/traefik/ The gist of it is Traefik is a reverse proxy that learns about your containers via configuration in the container only, so you can stand up additional services without rebooting everything. Still config heavy, but maybe less than some other approaches.

Docker Compose

> Docker compose is a dead end AFAIK .. What? I'm not involved and don't follow closely but pretty sure it's about as dead as docker itself. I.e. Not dead. There was commits 8hrs ago -- <a href="https://github.com/docker/compose/">https://github.com/docker/compose/</a>. Not sure who did that if not "the community".
