Synapse – TypeScript Toolchain for Cloud Apps
Hey all, I've been working on a developer tool based on my experiences with working on cloud applications. What I've created is basically Node.js + TypeScript + Terraform all combined into a single tool, Synapse. I like to think of Synapse as a "compiler for distributed systems", though it can also be used as a build tool for any JavaScript/TypeScript app. In fact, Synapse is built with Synapse! I recently open-sourced the bulk of the codebase, but a lot of work is still needed to make it easy to contribute. If anyone is able to try it out and give me feedback, it would be hugely…
In plain words
Synapse is an open-source TypeScript toolchain that combines Node.js, TypeScript, and Terraform into a single developer tool for cloud applications. It functions as both a compiler for distributed systems and a general build tool for JavaScript and TypeScript projects. Designed for developers building cloud apps, Synapse streamlines the process of managing infrastructure and application code together, with the codebase itself built using Synapse.

There's not many documented features at the moment, but I think what I have now is at least enough to get a basic idea of what Synapse can do.
