Converge: a graph-based configuration management system
summary
A configuration tool that claims it can deploy complex systems like Kubernetes from a single statically linked binary, born from deploying hundreds of Mesos and Kubernetes clusters for Mantl. It computes a dependency graph, runs plan then apply, integrates Terraform and Packer, targets ARM/Raspberry Pi, and uses bi-directional gRPC streaming for live updates. Features include PGP-signed module distribution, graph parallelism with failure pinpointing (one user scenario: 250 tasks), and an HDL for concise configs.
