strata
You already have Terraform. The problem is you have eight environment folders — dev, staging, prd, prd-eu, prd-us, dr, sandbox, perf — and they are 90% identical. Every change gets applied to one folder, forgotten in three others, and you only find out when production drifts. strata is a YAML config layer over Terraform, Helm, and scripts that treats your environments as data, not as copy-pasted folders. One source of truth, one command to validate it, one command to deploy it.
Support: GitHub Issues
Quick Start
pipx install xyz-strata # install
strata sln init # scaffold a new config workspace
strata console # interactive guided session
strata validate --file stack/my-environment.yaml # validate before you touch anything
strata deploy run --file deploy/my-environment.yaml # deploy to the target environment
New here? See the feature overview for a practical rundown of what strata does, or the Getting Started guide for the full walkthrough. Run strata --help to see all commands. Dev install: uv sync.
No PyPI access? Using a Dev Container? Inject strata from the published image — no Python install required:
# .devcontainer/Dockerfile
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu-24.04
COPY --from=ghcr.io/huybrechtsxyz/strata:latest /app/.venv /opt/strata
ENV PATH="/opt/strata/bin:$PATH"
See the Getting Started guide for the full devcontainer and air-gapped registry setup.
Automation & AI Agents
Set STRATA_OUTPUT=json once (or strata config set output json) and every command returns a structured JSON envelope on stdout:
{
"success": true,
"command": "validate",
"execution_id": "fb063135-...",
"timestamp": "2026-05-18T14:31:47.267924",
"data": { "validation_passed": true, "errors": [] },
"messages": [],
"errors": []
}
Key conventions for automation:
| Concern | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Output format | Always use --output json or STRATA_OUTPUT=json |
| Exit codes | 0 success · 1 system failure · 2 bad args · 3 validation failure |
| Workspace | Set STRATA_WORK_PATH to target a workspace without cd |
| Error stream | In console mode, errors go to stderr; structured JSON always goes to stdout |
| Execution correlation | execution_id in the envelope maps directly to strata audit list --execution-id <id> |
| Env-var overrides | Every CLI flag has an XYZ_<OPTION> equivalent (STRATA_VERBOSE=true, STRATA_QUIET=true, …) |
Safe read-only commands that work outside an initialized workspace (no .strata/solution.json required): validate, status, schema list, schema get.
AI agents/Copilot users: drop .github/skills/strata-onboarding.md into your agent's skill/instructions folder for strata-aware YAML assistance before you even have a workspace — the same content is also published at docs/skills/strata-onboarding.md.
