Falling in love with json(net)
summary
Shows how jsonnet converts sprawling JSON (example: a 400-line CloudWatch widget file) into reusable templates and functions that reduce hundreds of lines to a few, let you pass variables at CLI or defaults, and compute fields inside the document. Demonstrates generating a valid CloudWatch dashboard JSON, copying it into AWS, and deploying via a Terraform provider so dashboards come from code. Notes real projects using it, e.g. grafonnet for Grafana.
