Hi Nexlayer Team!! been loving the Playground so far — it’s wild how fast I can spin up multi-pod infra with a single file. Here is an idea that could make the dev experience way more intuitive especially for folks prototyping AI-native stacks.
Writing the launchfile.yaml manually works great, but sometimes I forget field names or the right indentation. Would be awesome to have an AI-powered sidekick that:
- Accepts natural language like:
“Add a Redis pod with port 6379 and 1Gi volume, connect it to Node API”
…and instantly generates the correct YAML block.
- Offers inline tooltips or examples when hovering over config keys (like what
mountPathorservicePortsactually expect). - Has a “Validate” button that does more than linting — it flags config issues, missing fields, or unsupported keys and suggests improvements like:
“Looks like your volume isn’t mounted — did you mean to attach it to this pod?”
Why this matters:
Reduces the friction of jumping into new stacks. Even for someone who knows YAML, it saves mental overhead and for newcomers like me it’s a learning boost. Would also catch small syntax bugs before deployment, instead of debugging post-crash.
