HCL
A declarative configuration language developed by HashiCorp, originally used for Terraform and also adopted by Vault, Nomad, Packer, and others. It supports variables, functions, and modularity, and can express more complex logic than YAML, but has a steeper learning curve.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Kestrix's CI/CD pipeline is defined using HCL.
Kestrix's HCL declarations are parsed into a DAG, and the ordering dependencies between tasks are determined by the graph's topology.
HCL has a steeper learning curve than YAML, so team members who have never worked with Terraform need time to adapt.
HCL was developed by HashiCorp, originally for Terraform, and is also adopted by products such as Vault, Nomad and Packer; it is a declarative configuration language.
OpenSeal has a separate HCL runbook path, executed via openseal run, which runs a typed graph within a single process and does not share persistent Run lifecycle, approvals, or activity streams.
Terraform uses the declarative syntax HCL, where engineers only need to describe the desired final state and the tool automatically calculates and executes state changes.
