This is a space where I really prefer Infrastructure as Code/configuration as code. Something like Terraform for instance.

Once the complex configuration is represented in code, we can take full advantage of the tools we already use to manage code, like version control, diffing, pull requests, issue tracking, etc.

For sure! Infrastructure as Code is great. However, there are plenty of instances where services you depend on cannot be configured with Terraform. Additionally, we have found that there are lots of companies who have a wide variety of setups across all of their teams (internal dashboards, engineering teams that are not focused on infrastructure, etc.). Some teams may be fully automated, while others are not. For some, it just isn't a priority. We hope that Gold Fig will work for them. We think that being able to represent the changes in the way that they are already used to making them will provide a stepping stone towards automating more of their setup.
