Falling in love with json(net)

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Shows that JSONnet actually removes dashboard duplication by turning kilobytes of repeated JSON into reusable templates, with transpiles to JSON output, top-level arguments, functions and a built-in ARN validator that rejects malformed ARNs during compilation. Demonstrates live compilation into CloudWatch JSON, copy‑paste deploy and a Terraform workflow via a terraform provider plus Grafana support (grafonnet) and unit testing helpers, proving templates validate and deploy rather than just being pretty.
