yeah

i also do a lot of

ComponentResource

, less for specialized configuration and more because I work in AWS and in AWS, nothing is a single resource

high-translator-22614

07/12/2019, 11:53 PM

so being able to bundle up several resources into a single concept is really handy

future-traffic-93788

07/12/2019, 11:54 PM

ah, interesting

high-translator-22614

07/12/2019, 11:58 PM

so, like, you would do the above inside of a

ComponentResource

with the nginx behind it and whatever else

high-translator-22614

07/12/2019, 11:58 PM

so at a high level, you can just be like "yeah, spin up a service using this code base at that domain and ..." and you've abstracted the details

future-traffic-93788

07/12/2019, 11:59 PM

yeah, do you have a link to any examples (from pulumi or otherwise)?

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:01 AM

https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/programming-model/#components is the official docs

future-traffic-93788

07/13/2019, 12:02 AM

oh, I see. This is the base resource used by things like Service

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:02 AM

well, it's not the same?

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:02 AM

it's meant to be a resource you build up out of other resources

future-traffic-93788

07/13/2019, 12:02 AM

I'm still new to pulumi so forgive me haha

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:03 AM

it's more like a composite resource

future-traffic-93788

07/13/2019, 12:03 AM

*Service uses CustomResource

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:03 AM

my own work is public, but i've also written a fair amount of abstraction, so they're not great examples of "how do i make a componenet"

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:03 AM

oh, not the same

future-traffic-93788

07/13/2019, 12:03 AM

yeah, but has the same sort of structure it looks like

future-traffic-93788

07/13/2019, 12:03 AM

I'll dig into this more

future-traffic-93788

07/13/2019, 12:04 AM

thanks for your help

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:05 AM

yeah, tbh i haven't looked into

CustomResource

yet because it sounds like a biiig can of worms

future-traffic-93788

07/13/2019, 12:05 AM

yeah, my interests lie in the direction of custom resources and composites to create custom building blocks

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:06 AM

yeah, you'd need

CustomResource

if you're teaching pulumi to interact with new services?

future-traffic-93788

07/13/2019, 12:06 AM

yeah, thanks again. I'll start digging into this more on monday

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:06 AM

good luck

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:07 AM

(i am trying to get my component abstractions into pulumi, but I'm also learning pulumi and there's a lot of rough-edge smoothing that needs to happen)

future-traffic-93788

07/13/2019, 12:07 AM

yeah, but they seem to be coming along pretty quickly. Seems like just a year ago none of this existed yet

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:08 AM

yeah, young projects move really fast

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 12:09 AM

i'm kind of excited because configuration as code always scales so much nicer when you're using actual programming languages

@high-translator-22614 @stocky-spoon-28903 thx for suggestions I will try to see what I can do with these. Any samples available publicly with that?

high-translator-22614

07/13/2019, 6:36 PM

i've written a bunch of tooling for my stuff, but it's not best practices
