https://github.com/TorbFoundry/torb
Hey HN, about 9 months ago I was getting infrastructure set up for a project and it was taking way too long. It took hours before I was even able to begin working on the project itself instead of the infrastructure and it wasn't particularly pleasant.
I got fed up and that's when I started thinking about how I could make it easier for people to develop with Kubernetes locally and then quickly deploy to a production environment in a consistent way that respects a set of best practices and leveraging some common infrastructure tools like Terraform and Helm under the hood.
The result of this was Torb.
The mission is to make it simple and easy for software engineers to create and deploy infrastructure on Kubernetes with best practices in place.
For now I've been focusing on getting projects launched on an e

xisting cluster, but I'd like to eventually help with bootstrapping clusters as well.
I've been dog fooding this on my own projects for a bit now and have also had some friends who are using the tool and giving me feedback.
I'm working on making it easier, or at least providing the tools to make working with it easier!

"Torb is a tool for quickly setting up best practice development infrastructure on Kubernetes along with development stacks that have reasonably sane defaults. Instead of taking a couple hours to get a project started and then a week to get your infrastructure correct, do all of that in a couple minutes."
In Kubernetes is hardShameless plug for my own attempt at doing something like this, but creating a higher level abstraction on top of helm and terraform for composing different services and projects to quickly get projects up and running on Kubernetes with sensible defaults and the ability to quickly break out into configuring the helm charts if you need to handle something special.

In Docker-compose.yml as a universal infrastructure interfaceI'm not sure this qualifies as small since I've been working on it since last summer and has grown to over a few thousand lines of code, but it is definitely automation and something I'm quite proud of.

My ambition is to fill the space of Heroku and right now I can get something like a React App and a Flask API or a full Elixir Phoenix project started and running in less than 5 minutes on Kube, with a full infrastructure as code environment, reproducibility and more.

tion yet, but it's definitely in a place where I think people can use it and get a lot of value from it. I've been testing it with some friends over a few months and have been dog fooding it on my other projects.
I just finished adding a file system watcher to it over the last few days so you can iterate and changes will quickly be reflected onto your cluster. Next I'm going to extract this out into a library from the CLI tool, build an API over it and offer a hosted solution and a web app.
I've been meaning to share it with people but I've been heads down building for maybe a little longer than I should have been.
