gomplate is a command-line template rendering tool built on Go's template syntax, supporting hundreds of built-in functions. It can pull data from many datasources including local files, environment variables, stdin, HTTP APIs, JSON/YAML, AWS EC2 metadata, and HashiCorp Consul and Vault secrets.

Use cases

• render config files from templates with data from yaml or json
• generate configuration from environment variables or vault secrets
• template rendering from remote datasources like consul or http apis
• generate files in docker builds from templates
• inject secrets into config templates at deploy time
• convert json or yaml data into other text formats from the command line

When to choose

• you need a fast, single-binary CLI to render Go-template files with data from files, env, stdin, or remote sources like Consul and Vault
• you generate configs in Docker images or CI pipelines and want a small, dependency-free tool
• you want many built-in template functions (math, string, crypto, net) without writing custom code

When to avoid

• you need a full configuration management system like Ansible or Helm rather than a template renderer
• you prefer a different template engine such as Jinja2 or Handlebars
• your templating needs are simple enough to be handled by your existing language runtime or framework
