Design Principles

Design Principles #

Adage is built on the idea of infrastructure as consequence — where infrastructure is shaped by declarative config, and each deployment traces its origin and dependencies.

Core principles:

  • Config-first: Infra is defined outside of the codebase.
  • Modular: Components are reusable, composable, and independently testable.
  • Traceable: Every deployed object is linked to its config and lineage.
  • Environment-aware: Deployment logic adapts to the AWS account and context.
