Key highlights -
💥 No state files and so no object storage and encryption
💥 No expensive credentials vault
💥 We don't store any AWS API keys in MechCloud
💥 No headache of upgrading Terraform/OpenTofu and a provider code as everything works seamlessly from the browser

Anyone provisioning cloud infrastructure, who (e.g. Developers) is not paying for it, will think about optimizing it only when pricing is shown in real-time and that too before provisioning the cloud infrastructure. That is the reason we are launching it with real-time pricing.

Initial implementation will focus on AWS only followed by GCP at a later stage.

- Managing a public cloud infrastructure without using any state files unlike any other IaC tool out there.
- Calculating price for all the resources managed under a context ( roughly equivalent of a k8s namespace) in real-time.

So unless I am missing something very basic, it looks strange to me why various platforms don't implement such a basic feature which can let people learn even the most expensive platforms without any fear of huge bills.

Every day we see one or more stories on reddit where people report huge bills due to leaked api keys.

A number of software or cloud engineering folks make this mistake where they accidently check the api keys into git and then these land in the hand of hackers causing financial loss and stress to these people.

Even if we supported api keys, very first thing which we will implement is restricting api keys to certain IPs so that these keys become useless unless the request originates from a trusted system (e.g. your laptop, dev or prod environment etc).
