I think Cue is more aimed at configuration file management.

Think Kubernetes, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and Salt. There you have tens to hundreds to thousands of YAML/JSON files that describe your server configuration and there's no way to validate any of it out of the box.

Even more broadly, most configuration files in general don't have any validation. For example things in the /etc/ directory on a Linux server. That fits under configuration file management too.

I'm not sure about your specific use case, but if you haven't considered something like Protocol Buffers -- I'd highly recommend at least looking into it. JSON sucks, sometimes.



Execute is in the name. There is a DAG engine (tool/flow) that automatically calculated dependencies. It powers the scripting layer and https://dagger.io
