OCUDU Ecosystem Developer Summit

Configuration schema is a recent addition to the OCUDU codebase that provides a standardized description of the apps configuration in the JSON Schema format – generated directly by the apps themselves, so it’s always up-to-date. This allows for other tools to interpret, process and interact with the OCUDU configuration in a deterministic and repeatable manner.

This session explains how OCUDU apps handle its configuration, discusses the technical challenges that still remain and also shows the benefits unlocked with OCUDU configuration schema:
- external configuration validation with standard off-the-shelf tools,
- configuration auto-completion,
- up-to-date documentation generation,
- new tools for config conversions,
- better hints for AI tools,
and many others.

The session is presented by the developer of the schema generation code and may contain some technical parts – however, OCUDU users who don’t interact with the code directly can still benefit and learn about the new tooling provided.
