Used identical tools before. It's just another vendor lock in monoculture. Doesn't matter that it's open source. The design is such that it's all or nothing. Same as Terraform.

One side effect of our design is that, once we bring more of the bi-directional capabilities back into the product - we can track the real-world resources as they change, and update the model on your behalf. So you can keep using (or start using) whatever tool you like to make the changes, and SI will do its best to help you rationalize that. We've had this working in earlier versions, and will again in the not too distant future.

None of the code that goes into the bi-directional capabilities will be open sourced though, will it?

Absolutely it will. Everything we write will be open sourced. All of it.

I'm impressed.

My understanding of the setup was that this would be typescript code that would live in the database (could have definitely got that wrong, though).

That signaled to me that this was going to be "company data" and proprietary.
