So whom is this for?
Doesn’t this set up cloud infrastructure? Dangerous how exactly?
It’s not a tautology. Someone who can’t handle like, using AWS directly, is a junior developer.
Another perspective is the founderese is not very reassuring.
Here are some dangers we've seen from our customers: - Misconfigurations that result in no backups, disabled encryption, etc. - Resources accidentally configured with Internet access - Exposing internal secrets or credentials in source code - Misconfiguration of IaC that results in destruction of databases
I'm not claiming that we have eliminated these dangers. Instead, our goal is to provide a platform for software teams to codify their security and compliance practices so that all developers on their team can avoid these dangers.
I do think that AI is going to have a massive impact on development including cloud infrastructure; however, we rarely see junior developers setting up cloud infrastructure because it is dangerous.
Our motivation is to make the cloud easier for all skill levels. In many organizations, this usually requires platform engineers or lead engineers that determine what works best with their technical strategy.
Our goal is to (yes, remove the arcaneness), but also remove the tedium and distraction from development.
