[decK](https://github.com/hbagdi/deck) is a declarative configuration tool to manage Kong’s configuration.  
One can not only **export** or **import** Kong’s configuration but also perform **drift detection** using decK.

I’ve release [decK v0.6.0](https://github.com/hbagdi/deck/releases/tag/v0.6.0). v0.6 is a major rewrite of some of the core modules of decK and brings some long-awaited features with it.

Here are some highlights:

- **JSON format** : state files can now be exported/ingested using JSON file format.
- **All plugins** : plugins applied on a combination of entities (service, route, consumer) can now be managed by decK.
- **New validate command** : The state file can now be validated using a JSON-schema  
using the new command to provide a sanity check for the file.
- New `--parallelism` flag can now control the number of concurrent request against Kong’s Admin API.
- IDs can now be included. decK can export ID of each entity using `--with-id` flag and IDs can also be used for diff/sync purpose.
- decK does not run as root user in Docker setup now.
- Service-less routes are now supported by decK.
