Adaptive Runtime Behavior: Machine Learning Meets Infrastructure

Open source Adage: Configuration-Driven AWS Deployment Framework wasn’t built as a machine learning platform — but it enables one. Because each deployed component exposes its runtime state, dependencies, and configuration via AWS Parameter Store, the system becomes: Observable Configurable at runtime Adaptable without redeployment What Is Adaptive Runtime Behavior? In this context, it means infrastructure that responds to runtime conditions: Services that select behavior based on observed state Configuration that adjusts over time Decision logic that operates independently from deployment processes Why This Framework Supports It 1. Decoupled Runtime State Every component stores its runtime info under a consistent path: ...

Adage: Configuration-Driven AWS Architecture - Core Design Principles

This article outlines the core design principles behind a configuration-driven approach to AWS infrastructure. These principles are designed to support modularity, auditability, scalability, and low-friction deployment across environments. Together, they form a consistent model that separates infrastructure code, configuration, and runtime behavior—while keeping everything connected through predictable patterns. If you’re looking to implement infrastructure that supports dynamic environments, feature isolation, and clean service boundaries, these principles provide a framework for building systems that are both flexible and easy to manage. ...

Adage: A Configuration-Driven AWS Deployment Framework

Traditional AWS Deployments Are Holding You Back If you’ve worked with AWS long enough, you’ve likely experienced these pain points: Manually updating Terraform every time a new environment or feature is needed Hardcoded infrastructure dependencies that make it difficult to scale Multiple teams needing access to Terraform, even if they only manage configurations Lack of auditability — who changed what, and when? The traditional way of managing AWS infrastructure forces DevOps teams into bottlenecks and makes scaling complex architectures painful. ...
