Refactoring monsternames to be cloud-native with data-structure driven terraform

A while back I wrote a post about about to manage GitHub with Terraform and GitHub… I think I’m finally ready to release the source code to the general public.

A little primer on said pattern, with some quite silly examples.

Setup an OpenAPI definition of monsternames, and use GitOps to publish a SwaggerUI behind API Gateway.

Many moons ago I decided to try and make a text-based, roguelite, game for the terminal. But then life got in the way, so it never really worked out.

This article aims to show how you can use a general-purpose, recursive, algorithm to paginate pretty much any RESTAPI out there
