About ​

@hardmachinelabs/zod-config is built and maintained by Jordach Makaya.

I build TypeScript tools, NestJS systems, and AI-ready infrastructure with a focus on boring reliability: validation, explicit boundaries, safe defaults, and maintainable developer workflows.

This package exists because I kept solving the same problem across different projects.

Every time I started a new TypeScript or NestJS application, I eventually had to write another Zod-based configuration module: schema validation, typed access, safe error handling, NestJS integration, and test reset helpers. The implementation was never exactly the same, but the problem kept coming back.

@hardmachinelabs/zod-config is the reusable version of that pattern.

The goal is simple:

  • Zod remains the source of truth.
  • The core stays framework-independent.
  • NestJS integration is isolated behind an adapter.
  • Config access is typed and explicit.
  • Errors stay redaction-safe.
  • Global access exists only as a secondary explicit bridge.

This is not a secret manager, and it does not try to replace Zod or @nestjs/config.

It is a small TypeScript configuration utility for validating, typing, and reading already-provided environment-like objects safely.

Env Sync ​

I also maintain Env Sync, an open-source CLI for reducing configuration drift between local .env files and CI/CD secrets.

Package:

@hardmachinelabs/env-sync

npm:

Env Sync is useful when projects have environment variables spread across:

  • local .env files
  • monorepo package-level .env files
  • GitLab CI/CD variables
  • GitHub Actions secrets
  • workflow YAML files
  • deployment environments

Where @hardmachinelabs/zod-config focuses on runtime validation and typed config access, Env Sync focuses on keeping local and CI/CD configuration aligned.

Together, they cover two different parts of the same configuration problem:

Env Sync                 -> keep CI/CD secrets aligned
@hardmachinelabs/zod-config  -> validate and read config safely at runtime
