My plans for future cloud platforms are to have the ability to create your own platform file, that’ll house all the required code to get it running, and then having a simple command to install them, ie... ignite install —platform {platform_name} All platform code will be saved in your home directory under a folder called .ignite, ie: /home/Michael/.ignite/platforms/Heroku ...etc This new platform design will be in the next update, and you’ll be able to generate a base template by doing... ignite create —provider {provider_name} Then in terms of sharing the provider file, and all its sub files, you would do the same ignite share command, with a flag of —provider, and then it’s a matter of sharing and installing it. Apex is very good, but I draw the line when it comes to being reproducible universally, the goal of ignite is to be an AIO package that can manage configuration, dependencies, and deployment without having to create complex structures for deployment/sharing/etc, and the key factor is everything that is created must be reproducible regardless of platform, IDE, etc. and that’s why Ignite exists, to help take away that pain and just have a very simple CLI do the tasks automatically |
