That's how I configure my projects using dhall.

I'm working on a web application at the moment with a REST API, database, rabbitMQ, a few python workers, nginx, 2 react projects and a Gatsby project plus some docker composes for testing.

Everything is configured in the root file and then this is imported into smaller dhall files in the subprojects. In the build scripts I generate all the yaml and JSON from these, even the docker-composes and it's very ergonomic.

First I'm hearing of this tool and it seems really nice. Do you perhaps have an open repo that shows how you are using the dhall files? If I can reduce my config files to dhall + justfile I'd be quite happy.
