Shell Spell: Extracting and Propagating Multiple Values With jq

Read Original

The article details a developer's process of extracting a dynamically generated password and host URL from Terraform's JSON state to connect to a Postgres RDS database. It explains a shell script solution using jq to parse the output in a single command, avoiding file storage, and integrating it directly into a psql connection string for efficiency and documentation.
