Rigging the game with Rig
summary
Rig aims to provision a prod-ready Scala platform with a single command, wrapping Pulumi/Bison and using an HCL config to spin VPS nodes, K3s, a Tailscale VPN, Cloudflare edge proxy and services like Cloud Native Postgres (HA backups) and optional Redis/Cockroach; it generates a compile-safe rig platform API, runs diffs and validation before applying changes, and is experimental but usable. A companion ORM (Parlance) adds typed relations, eager loading, scopes and migrations, and Lazy Val Grade carries nearly 2,000 tests showing stability.
