resource

Resource is an output type that channels messages to a resource output, identified by its name.

# Config fields, showing default values
output:
  resource: ""

Resources allow you to tidy up deeply nested configs. For example, the config:

output:
  broker:
    pattern: fan_out
    outputs:
    - kafka:
        addresses: [ TODO ]
        topic: foo
    - gcp_pubsub:
        project: bar
        topic: baz

Could also be expressed as:

output:
  broker:
    pattern: fan_out
    outputs:
    - resource: foo
    - resource: bar

output_resources:
  - label: foo
    kafka:
      addresses: [ TODO ]
      topic: foo

  - label: bar
    gcp_pubsub:
      project: bar
      topic: baz
