You have 2 choices:
- Use a "0-config" solution. You sacrifice control, efficiency and a lot more.
- You write configuration. In my opinion, the best language for configuration that humanity has come up with is YAML. Yes, it's not ideal, but it's expressive and (compared to alternatives), very readable. Compared to real programming languages, it lacks some of the goodies like autocompletion, validation, etc. Stacktape has a VScode extension for that. Also, you can write your config using Typescript: https://docs.stacktape.com/user-guides/writing-config-in-typ...
If you want a "quick-start" solution, we have a lot of those in our docs. Also, we are working on an interactive CLI "tour" that will "bootstrap" the configuration for you (with some sane defaults).
Edit: We are actively looking for a better and easier solution. If you have a suggestion, I will be very happy to discuss it.
