Hey everyone! I built a platform that works on top of Terraform to expose high level constructs you want to create in your infrastructure (intent) rather than actually dealing with cloud resources (typical terraform modules).I am looking for other enthusiasts to work on this project, and gather feedback.The problem I am trying to solve is complexity. Typically you make infra by either asking...
I have been trying to release this for some time now. Its a wrapper on top of cloud technologies, like AWS, so developers don’t have to understand low level devops operations.
Much like AWS CDK or Terraform, but build around familiar concepts like Server, Environment, Deployment, Regions, etc.
Its a framework that allows you to write your infrastructure in code, and an example in English would be like,
Hey Octo, build me a region in US East with QA and Staging environment. Build my Backend repo, publish my docker image, and run it in QA, then promote to Staging.
Of course this would be written in code, which would roughly be about 10-20 lines of code, easily testable, and easy to understand.
I have created a web hosting platform for developers who do not wish to maintain their own infrastructure while hosting their website. This platform is very simple to use because you do not have to configure any servers. It is as simple as uploading your code and watching the website go live in a matter of minutes.I believe my project is solving a real world problem, but still I have struggled...
I am building a platform that can provide you all of this and much more out of the box if you host your web application with us.
Traditionally you would have configured each of these support services individually in your infrastructure which is a mess and requires time, money, and expertise. Our platform seamlessly encapsulates these services so it can “just work” with you app like magic.

A while ago I asked "Can cloud infrastructure become truly automatic?" in this HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19080186 I got mixed responses, but I was curious to try the idea.Imagine you wrote a simple project - NodeJS backend + database + frontend. How much effort and money would it take to get that project online? Many novice programmers like students wouldn't even know where...
AWS, GoogleCloud, and Azure are the 3 main players that provide IaaS, but I have often found myself learning a whole lot before I can get a working setup with CICD and routing and scaling and database and logging setup correctly.In my mind, the future is where you don't need to define infrastructure but based on your code infrastructure is derived. E.g. you can detect from configuration or...
