What Hacker News says
3 sourcesYeah, so this package itself is the core framework that establishes how these tests are to be run. There is a notion of plug-ins, which are parsers and checks. Parsers take cdk or terraform code and break their synthesized/planned output out into a common structure. Then checks run over that structure and pull data in from elsewhere and run actual validations. You can read more in the developing plugins doc on the repo https://github.com/tinystacks/precloud/blob/main/DEVELOPING_....
The default plugins present are the 6 mentioned here https://github.com/tinystacks/precloud/blob/main/PLUGINS.md. They’re all published on npm and github

Infrastructure as code (IaC) often fails during deployment due to dynamic constraints such as name collisions, quota limits and other resource-specific constraints that devs run halfway into an IaC deployment. We witnessed this first hand at TinyStacks and built precloud - an open-source framework to define and run dynamic tests before IaC deployments.
The precloud framework currently supports Terraform and AWS CDK with several default checks (unique names, service quota checks and more) and ability to define your own!
