Chintz: tooling for technology agnostic design systems

I've been developing a system called Chintz for working with technology-agnostic design systems and pattern libraries. The idea is that you should be able to create web components in a library, and that they can then be directly used in websites built in any language or framework.

Technology agnosticism

If you've been following the hotness then you'll know that everything is written in JSX these days so get over it, but if you've also been around a while you might have noticed that new hot things come and go. New things are often great improvements, but however great they are they tend to be usurped sooner or later by something even better.

Brad Frost's post Managing technology-agnostic design systems describes a systematic solution. The idea is to have a design tier of components, which are converted for each flavour of tech

Replace a zone file in AWS Route53 using cli53

cli53 is a command line tool for Amazon Route53 and it's well documented.

Basic syntax to replace a BIND zone file is very simple:

cli53 import --file zonefile.txt --replace example.com

Deploying Keycloak to AWS

The objective of this guide is to deploy Keycloak to AWS in a minimally complex way for testing and discovery purposes. This means using the standalone build of Keycloak backed with Hibernate H2. The result is not a production ready system. It won't scale, it won't survive significant load, it can't be clustered.

Mostly this Gist is a distillation of the Keycloak Server Installation guide for a specific use case: to spin up a quick and dirty Keycloak instance for testing and experimenting.

Steps

Spin up and configure a Ubuntu AMI
Install and configure Keycloak with an SSL cert
