Perfection System

The unified dev environment generator that makes everything.

What is Perfection?

One manifest generates:

  • Services (APIs, databases, workers)
  • Agents (AI, validators, optimizers)
  • Dev Environments (IDE, tools, configs)
  • Infrastructure (monitoring, logging, networking)

All from ONE CSV file.

Quick Example

Input: my-stack.csv

type,name,template,language,packages
service,api,go-http,go-1.22,postgresql-17+redis-7
agent,auth,ai-agent,rust-1.91,postgresql-17
frontend,dashboard,react-vite,node-20,none

Output:

perfection generate my-stack.csv
perfection deploy api --platform fly.io

# ✅ Service running on Fly.io
# ✅ Agent registered with RIC
# ✅ All configs generated

Installation

cd perfection/cli
./target/release/perfection --help

# Add to PATH
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/target/release/perfection /usr/local/bin/

Docker Image

cd perfection
docker build -t perfection:latest .
docker run perfection:latest --help

From Source

cd perfection/cli
cargo build --release

Commands

Initialize

perfection init
# Tests database, Redis, RIC connections

List Resources

perfection list environments     # Templates
perfection list packages         # Dependencies
perfection list agents           # Registered agents
perfection list extensions       # IDE extensions

Generate Configs

perfection generate manifest.csv

# Creates:
# - Dockerfiles
# - fly.toml
# - dev.nix
# - .env templates

Deploy

# Local (Docker)
perfection deploy api --platform local

# Fly.io (Cloud)
perfection deploy api --platform fly.io

# With health check
perfection deploy api

Monitor

perfection status              # All deployments
perfection status api          # Specific service
perfection logs api            # View logs
perfection logs api --follow   # Stream logs

Stop

perfection stop api

Configuration

Manifest Format

Required Fields

  • type - service, agent, devenv, tool, frontend
  • name - Unique identifier
  • template - Base template to use
  • language - Language and version (rust-1.91, go-1.22)
  • packages - Dependencies (postgresql-17+redis-7)

Optional Fields

  • agent_capabilities - For agents (git.commit+git.diff)
  • ai_model - AI integration (gpt-4, claude, gemini)
  • nix_channel - Nix channel (stable-24.05)
  • extensions - IDE extensions
  • lifecycle_hooks - onCreate/onStart/onStop commands

Examples

Simple API

type,name,template,language,packages
service,api,go-http,go-1.22,postgresql-17

AI Agent

type,name,template,language,packages,agent_capabilities,ai_model
agent,git-agent,ai-agent,rust-1.91,none,git.commit+git.diff,gpt-4

Full Stack

type,name,template,language,packages
service,backend,rust-axum,rust-1.91,postgresql-17+redis-7
frontend,web,react-vite,node-20,none

Architecture

Database

  • PostgreSQL stores all configurations
  • 205+ prebuilt packages cataloged
  • Environment templates
  • Deployment history

Infrastructure Integration

  • AWS EC2: PostgreSQL, Redis, Prometheus
  • Cloudflare Workers: RIC (agent coordination)
  • Fly.io: Service deployment
  • Cloudflare Tunnel: HTTPS exposure

Workflow

manifest.csv 
  → perfection generate
  → Configs saved to DB
  → perfection deploy
  → Service on Fly.io/Local
  → Agent registers with RIC
  → Metrics to Prometheus

Adding Templates

  1. Add to schema/002_seed_environments.sql
  2. Create template in templates/
  3. Update generators if needed

Adding Platforms

  1. Create new deployer in cli/src/deployers/
  2. Implement Deployer trait
  3. Add to DeployerType enum

Troubleshooting

Database Connection Failed

# Check PostgreSQL
systemctl status postgresql

# Test connection
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d perfection -c "SELECT 1;"

Deployment Failed

# Check logs
perfection logs api

# Try local first
perfection deploy api --platform local

# Check generated configs
cat generated/api/Dockerfile

Port Already in Use

# Perfection finds next available port automatically
# Or stop existing service
perfection stop api

Cost

Infrastructure:

  • AWS EC2: ~$20/month (PostgreSQL, Redis, Prometheus)
  • Cloudflare: $0 (Workers, Tunnel)
  • Fly.io: $0 (3 free VMs)

Total: ~$20/month
