Configuration language Pkl can be used for all of your configuration, large or small. Whether defining a collection of services in an Infrastructure-as-Code way, or just configuring your local machine, Pkl can make all of it DRYer, safer, and more ergonomic. This talk demonstrates how Pkl’s very strong validation system, flexible output renderers, and best-in-class editor support make Pkl a truly generic configuration language. You will see why Pkl is consistently the better (safer, more ergonomic, more comprehensible) alternative to templating. Finally, you will see how configuring your whole technology stack at once leads to even DRYer and safer configurations.
