Add Nitric framework to platform-orchestration #109

Closed raksiv closed 1 year ago

christophcrichter commented 1 year ago

@raksiv thanks for the contribution. I was checking your docs but I couldn't find any reference to Nitric being a Platform Orchestrator. Are you sure that this is the right category? If so, please share some examples that explain the Platform Orchestrator functionality (e.g., homepage, tutorials). Thanks.

@christophcrichter sure, no worries - I did not find a good match in the categories. Perhaps this should've been a question upfront. Hopefully you can help us find a better fit.

The Nitric framework allows developers to self-service their infrastructure requirements by requesting their resources directly in code. We have written out of box providers which fulfill the request using Terraform and Pulumi, which is our opinion on how the resources should be provisioned, however, platform engineers are also able to extend these providers to provision infrastructure the way they want.. using the IaC tool of choice.

@raksiv no problem at all. IDPs still are an emerging category without a strict terminology.

@FL303 what do you think would fit as a category?

raksiv commented 1 year ago

@christophcrichter @FL303 what do you think about a new category e.g. along lines of "self-service infrastructure".

FL303 commented 1 year ago

@raksiv sorry for my late reply. IMO "self-service infrastructure" sounds more like a feature, not a product category. Would Infrastructure Control Plane make sense for you? We could create a separate overview page for it, not only showing Upbound: https://internaldeveloperplatform.org/infrastructure-control-planes/upbound/ Please let me know what you think.

@FL303 Thanks for the thoughtful response, no worries about the timeline - I think thats actually a very good suggestion. If you're good with it, I'll make changes to the PR to point it to this directory.

FL303 commented 1 year ago

@raksiv Thanks for the quick response. Please go ahead.

Thanks, I reverted the original content and pushed an update with an index page. Please feel free to modify if you feel any changes are required.
