Misting is the core resource management library that powers Mistcraft. It provides the engine for tracking, planning, and deploying cloud infrastructure resources.

What makes Misting different

Unlike traditional Infrastructure-as-Code tools that are standalone applications, Misting was designed from the ground up as an embeddable library. You can import it as a dependency and call its API directly from your own application — no subprocesses, no CLI wrappers.

This means you get:

• In-process execution — share memory and context with your application
• Native error handling — use Rust’s standard patterns, no subprocess output parsing
• Full programmatic control — build your own tooling on top of a solid foundation

Core concepts

• Resources — the building blocks that represent your infrastructure
• State — tracks what exists and what has changed
• Deployments — orchestrate changes with planning, validation, and rollback
• Upstream — pluggable interface to any cloud provider
• Expressions — dynamic values with built-in functions
