Implementation Plan

M105 (Get started)

• Ship initial MVP: New core SDK type similar to StackReference that takes a path to a program and untyped config and returns untyped outputs
  • Engine + deploytest
  • PCL and conformance testing support
  • Node.js + conformance test

M106

• Ship initial MVP (additional SDKs):

  • Python + conformance test
  • Go + integration test
  • .NET + integration test
  • YAML + integration test
  • Java

• Add support for remote programs from git repository

Next quarter

• SDK generation so it's not just untyped config coming in and untyped outputs coming out
