Use poetry for dependency management

Date: 2023-09-08

Status

Implemented

Context

Our initial decision to use was primarily driven by built-in support in Cloud Foundry. In practice, we have found that we still need to export the requirements file as part of the build process, removing the benefit.

Meanwhile, poetry appears to be the informal standard around TTS. It's relatively simple for a dev to switch between them, but we do value consistency across the organization.

Decision

Let's use poetry.

Consequences

We expect this to be a one-time cost.

Next Steps

We will need to:

• Convert to poetry
• Convert our CI/CD processes
• Ensure proper Dependabot configuration
• Update developer documentation
• Get familiar with the tool
