Episode notes
Treat Business App Configurations As Code
- Business apps are configured via many SaaS platforms using no-code interfaces that create brittle, manual setups.
- Converting those configs into a common textual format enables software-like versioning, review, and collaboration.
Startup Configs Start Small, Then Break
- Rami described how startups start with a contractor or single admin to configure platforms, which works until scale.
- As business grows, ad hoc no-code setups become error-prone and rely on tribal knowledge.
Extract, Version, And Automate Config Changes
- Extract platform configuration into a standardized text format and store it in Git to enable versioning and rollbacks.
- Automate PRs and use existing DevOps tools to manage changes instead of relying on tribal UI clicks.
