Quick takeaways

  • Waypoint simplifies code deployment by combining build, deploy, and release steps into one CLI tool, but its focus on Docker-based workflows raises concerns for non-Dockerized setups.
  • Zellich provides a single binary solution for managing various terminal aspects, offering greater customization, although terminal customization may not be preferred by all developers.

Deep dives

Waypoint: Streamlining Code Deployment

Waypoint is a new project from Hashicorp that aims to simplify the process of getting code into production. By combining build, deploy, and release steps into a single CLI tool, developers can define their desired steps using Hashicorp's config language (HCL). Waypoint assumes app containerization and provides features such as streaming logs, executing commands, and integrating with different cloud resources. While the tool is promising, the documentation currently focuses mostly on Docker-based workflows, raising questions about its applicability for non-Dockerized setups and addressing complex deployment scenarios.
