Everything as Code: A Dozen As-Code Concepts beyond Infrastructure or Configuration as Code

Jose Javier Alonso Moya

Stop clicking and start committing. Codifying everything from telemetry to SLAs empowers platform teams to eliminate operational debt and recover from disasters with a single pull request.

#1 about 2 min

The shift from manual models to code-centric operations

Agile methodologies gave raw code superpowers by replacing complex documentation with automated testing and releasing routines.

#2 about 3 min

Conceptualizing production software properties as motorcycle schematics

Storing complete configuration data generates an operational contract that acts as the core DNA for environments.

#3 about 3 min

Leveraging version control systems for infrastructure deployments

Git repositories enable asynchronous reviews and comprehensive checklists to enforce secure operations directly within pull requests.

#4 about 4 min

Implementing automated gatekeeping checks before applying code changes

Pipeline runners validate security signatures, spell checks, and operational conditions before altering the production environment.

#5 about 4 min

Managing deployment state with declarative continuous reconciliation agents

Reconciliation agents compare version-controlled states against production realities to continuously align environments across diverse regions.

#6 about 8 min

How infrastructure evolved from single mainframes to hybrid clouds

Managing diverse deployments across public and multi-tenant architectures requires systematic tooling over manual administration.

#7 about 4 min

Bundling continuous integration tasks and telemetry dashboards dynamically

Abstracted configuration parameters compile testing routines and interactive alert graphs seamlessly inside standard developer pull requests.

#8 about 3 min

Compiling markdown syntax into fully featured documentation ecosystems

Tools combined with markdown languages export architectural diagrams and visual slides natively across version control artifacts.

#9 about 3 min

Mitigating production incidents by quickly reverting explicit git commits

Modifying repository state instructs automated loop systems to reverse erroneous deployments back to stable functional environments.

#10 about 3 min

Enforcing declarative immutability over modern cloud infrastructure deployments

Adopting absolute code-based definitions ensures fast disaster recovery, reliable toolchain updates, and autonomous capabilities for developer teams.
