Carina

Carina represents the keel of Argo Navis: the structural backbone that quietly supports everything above it.

[!CAUTION] This is an experimental project. The DSL syntax, APIs, and features are subject to change without notice.

A strongly typed infrastructure management tool written in Rust.

Features

• Custom DSL: Simple, expressive syntax for defining infrastructure
• Effects as Values: Side effects are represented as data structures, not immediately executed
• Strong Typing: Catch configuration errors during validation against provider schemas
• Data Sources: Reference existing infrastructure without managing its lifecycle
• Provider Architecture: Extensible provider system for multi-cloud support
• Modules: Reusable infrastructure components with typed inputs/outputs
• State Management: Remote state storage with locking (S3 backend)
• LSP Support: Editor integration with completion, diagnostics, and syntax highlighting
• Terraform-like Workflow: Familiar validate, plan, apply, destroy commands
