I don't want to invest my time into another declarative closed loop. Now that there is Pulumi it just doesn't make any sense to me. It allows to easily integrate all the parts of deployment process together using already known and more flexible tools than declarative languages could ever be.
1. Secret management: We did have a secret as code solution in a previous version, but we removed it because we upgraded our App model and the old user guide is not appropriate. We will refresh it later. The idea behind the guide is still the same. If you are interested in the older version, you can check out this link. (https://github.com/KusionStack/kusionstack.io/blob/b0fb8296d...)
2. Another declarative closed loop: Tools like Pulumi and Terraform mainly focus on provisioning resources but Kusion focuses on the software development life cycle(SDLC) which contains other components like rollouts, policies, monitoring, etc. In fact, Kusion is utilizing Terraform to manage cloud resources (https://kusionstack.io/docs/user_docs/concepts/kusion#runtim...). In other words, what Kusion wants is to build an open-source developer platform that can integrate your existing infrastructures to boost the App Dev's efficiency, not another wheel.
Kusion is an open-source project that is still in its early stages, and we are actively working on enriching our ecosystem. We are also looking for friends and partners to build this project together. Feel free to contact me and all feedback is welcomed and appreciated :)
