plunge
Section titled “plunge”plunge is the Pulumi fork from the team behind plywood. Its drop-in CLI keeps one record per resource and writes plunge-stack and plunge-urn markers on each cloud object. intentius.io/plunge.
chant is the runtime under plywood and terragucci. The gates and the ledger are chant’s, and so are change sets and target locks. chant also runs the product pipeline that posts plywood’s notes.
