Belgium HashiCorp User Group

It's been awhile.. But it's time for the HashiCorp Summer edition, and this time Dataroots is hosting us.

On top of that, Rob Barnes is joining us again, so good reason to clear your evening.

We're getting the HashiCorp community back together for an evening of talks, food, and time to catch up, with two sessions on the agenda.

On the program

Is your Terraform code SOLID? Marwen Hmidi

We treat Terraform as “just configuration”, and our infrastructure pays the price. Spaghetti modules, god-objects masquerading as root configs, hidden coupling between resources, and changes that ripple unpredictably across environments. Sound familiar? In this talk, we’ll apply battle-tested software engineering principles directly to Terraform. Walk away with concrete patterns to write Terraform code that’s testable, composable, and actually pleasant to maintain. Speaker: Marwen Hmidi

Reproducible Developer Environments with Jumppad - Rob Barnes

Reproducibility is something we have largely solved at the infrastructure layer, but it often stops there. Developers are still expected to follow setup guides, run scripts, and debug issues just to get a working environment.

This talk looks at reproducibility from a developer perspective. What does it take to ensure that anyone on the team can spin up the same working system every time without relying on documentation or tribal knowledge.

Using Jumppad, I will demonstrate how to define and run a complete environment that includes HashiCorp Nomad, HashiCorp Vault, and a sample application. We will walk through creating the environment, using it as a developer would, and tearing it down again.

The focus is on practical patterns that improve developer experience and reduce the time it takes to get started with a system.
