Runway

Runway is a lightweight integration app designed to ease management of infrastructure tools.

Its main goals are to encourage GitOps best-practices, avoid convoluted Makefiles/scripts (enabling identical deployments from a workstation or CI job), and enable developers/admins to use the best tool for any given job.

Features

• Centralized environment-specific configuration
• Automatic environment identification from git branches
• Automatic linting/verification
• Support of IAM roles to assume for each deployment
• Terraform backend/workspace config management w/per-environment tfvars
• Automatic kubectl/terraform version management per-environment

Supported Deployment Tools

• AWS CDK
• Kubectl
• Serverless Framework
• Stacker (CloudFormation)
• Static websites (build & deploy to S3+CloudFront)
• Terraform

Example

A typical Runway configuration is unobtrusive -- it just lists the deployment order and locations (regions).

deployments:
  - modules:
    - resources.tf  # terraform resources
    - backend.sls  # serverless lambda functions
    - frontend  # static web site
    environments:  # Environment settings
        dev:
            foo: dev-bar
        prod:
            foo: prod-bar

The example above contains enough information for Runway to deploy all resources, lambda functions and a static website backed by S3 and Cloudfront in either dev or prod environments
