Nginx Double A

A primitive Double A (AAA-minus-Accounting) RBAC system implemented in declarative Nginx config.

Background

So I noticed https://github.com/alexaandru/elastic_guardian, a simple AAA reverse-proxy to sit in front of Elasticsearch. Reading the source and comments tickled my "why is this in code not config?" funnybone.

I asked @alexaandru (https://twitter.com/jpluscplusm/status/438339557906735104) who told me it was mostly the resulting complexity of the nginx config he tried that prompted him to write it.

// Load plugins
var gulp = require('gulp'),
	plugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')({ camelize: true }),
	lr = require('tiny-lr'),
	server = lr();

// Styles
gulp.task('styles', function() {
  return gulp.src('assets/styles/source/*.scss')
	.pipe(plugins.rubySass({ style: 'expanded', compass: true }))

@holman got a request about our deployment system, heaven

I know it's not a high priority, but has there been any activity on open-sourcing the core Heaven gem?

There is. I've been working on extracting the non-GitHub specific parts into two gems. This first is a CLI portion called hades. The second is an HTTP API portion called heaven.

When you open source something previously used as in internal tool like Heaven, Hubot, Boxen, etc., how do you manage and hook in the parts that need to stay internal?

Normally I focus around four questions:

I'm having trouble understanding the benefit of require.js. Can you help me out? I imagine other developers have a similar interest.

From Require.js - Why AMD:

The AMD format comes from wanting a module format that was better than today's "write a bunch of script tags with implicit dependencies that you have to manually order"

I don't quite understand why this methodology is so bad. The difficult part is that you have to manually order dependencies. But the benefit is that you don't have an additional layer of abstraction.
