The first open-source Infrastructure-as-Code framework
Hey HN, Zach here, cofounder of Coherence (withcoherence.com). After over two years supporting customers deploying apps to AWS and GCP we’ve come to the conclusion that developers really want to own the customization and configurability that the public cloud provides without having to write and maintain all the glue code that goes with it. That’s why we’re launching CNC (https://github.com/coherenceplatform/cnc), an open-source framework that equips developers with the right tools to deploy applications with precision. Rooted in the principles of Infrastructure as Code…
In plain words
CNC is an open-source Infrastructure-as-Code framework that helps developers deploy applications to AWS and GCP without writing extensive glue code. It translates high-level service definitions into infrastructure configurations across different environments using Terraform. Built for developers who want cloud customization and control without the complexity, CNC generates reference architecture-based infrastructure for development, staging, production, and ephemeral environments.

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN, Zach here, cofounder of Coherence (withcoherence.com). After over two years supporting customers deploying apps to AWS and GCP we’ve come to the conclusion that developers really want to own the customization and configurability that the public cloud provides without having to write and maintain all the glue code that goes with it. That’s why we’re launching CNC (https://github.com/coherenceplatform/cnc), an open-source framework that equips developers with the right tools to deploy applications with precision. Rooted in the principles of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using terraform, cnc translates high level service definitions into reference architecture based infrastructure across various environments — whether it’s for development, staging, production, or ephemeral environments. For those who have used AWS's Amplify CLI, think of cnc as a broader, adaptable framework that supports your unique deployment needs. Check it out and please contribute. We’re excited to see how this project evolves.

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
