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
• CFNgin (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:  # Environments
      dev: "123456789012"  # AWS development Account ID
      prod: "234567890123"  # AWS production Account ID
    regions:
      - us-east-1

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
