mgmt is a next-generation distributed, event-driven configuration management tool written in Go, with its own reactive language (mcl) for modeling infrastructure as code. It runs as a decentralized cluster of agents that continuously converge systems to a desired state in real time with closed-loop feedback.

Use cases

• manage server configuration as code
• keep systems continuously in a desired state in real time
• schedule resources across a cluster of hosts
• react to changing conditions like time-based file permissions
• replace puppet or ansible with a real-time automation tool
• run decentralized config agents across a network

When to choose

• you want real-time, event-driven convergence instead of periodic runs
• you need distributed scheduling and cluster-wide resource constraints
• you prefer a reactive declarative language for infrastructure modeling

When to avoid

• you need a mature ecosystem with extensive modules and community support
• your team already relies on established tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef
• you only need simple one-shot provisioning without continuous monitoring
