rendr

rendr is a scaffolding tool which allows generating entire projects (or anything else) from blueprints, using standard templating engines and simple customization via parameters. It is generic enough to apply to a wide variety of applications and tech stacks, but powerful and flexible enough to provide value, fast. The tool itself is really a generic template renderer. It's up to you, the template creator, to decide what to put in your template.

Use cases

Here are just a few possible use cases:

  • Enable rapid spin-up of new projects, complete with CI/CD pipelines, code quality gates, security analysis, and more
  • Ship "Hello, World!" projects immediately to production, enabling instant iteration on features
  • Include CI/CD standards baked into projects from the start, easily kept up to date
  • Simplify repeated patterns like creating new microservices, libraries, or submodules on an existing project
