Nix 💙 Deployments

The goal of "Nix 💙 Deployments" is to making working with Nix at work enjoyable and productive, by maintaining and improving NixOps. Since its start we have learned that the NixOps (v1/v2) architecture is not sustainable, so we've shifted the focus towards achieving better, "platform-shaped" architecture with "NixOps4":
- small core with powerful generic abstractions similar to Terraform
- reuse of Terraform/OpenTofu ecosystem
- extensive use of the Nix language and package manager/build system for configuration and plugins

This collective is administrated by Robert Hensing, @roberth (also known from Hercules CI). The only fee that applies is from OpenSource Collective, which manages the financial side of things, including taxes.

Funds will be spent primarily on
1. Labor cost of reviews
2. Maintenance such as improving tests, linting, auditing, etc
3. Cloud provisioning costs incurred as part of testing

Contact me if you want to apply for these funds, or if you want to know more before making a donation.

Shoutout to Domen and https://opencollective.com/nix-macos who was (clearly ;) ) a source of inspiration and help!
