Dive into the world of K Configuration Language (KCL). This review and walkthrough illuminates the features and advantages of using KCL to generate YAML or JSON configurations and manifests. We cover the basics of KCL’s syntax, its approach to handling hierarchical data, and demonstrate how to define and manipulate configurations with clarity and precision.

We dive deep into the world of developer platform consoles, exploring the importance of simplicity, API-based architectures, and the crucial role these elements play in discoverability, operations, and observability. We argue that developer platform consoles should aim for a ‘dumb’ design philosophy – one that emphasizes straightforward interfaces and leverages APIs to interact with underlying services and data. By stripping down the complexity traditionally found in these consoles, developers can achieve greater efficiency and enhance the maintainability of their systems.
