Existing #IaC tools weren’t built for platform teams. They were built for one person doing everything, which is why infra changes are slow and painful.
We’re building the abstraction layer #PlatformEngineering needs to move fast without friction.

Platform Engineering Requires Abstraction.
But existing IaC tools don’t abstract infrastructure.

Ever try to delete a VPC only to find AWS has hidden resources still attached?
Managed services often create infra your #IaC never sees until it blocks teardown or raises costs.

We’re bringing the #IaC rebellion to #KubeCon Atlanta. Are you ready?! 😈
Swing by our booth to:
• Get a demo of our infras software
• Talk shop w/ the crew of IaC outlaws
• Grab the legendary goodies everyone keeps asking about
Find us. Hang out. Let’s break the old way of doing things together.

In software, you get tests and safety nets. In ops, you get fire. 🔥
That’s why we’re building #infrastructure tools for the moments where ops actually happens (when things break, drift, or scale unexpectedly).

We haven’t revealed to the public what it is yet, but let's just say you might want to start cleaning out your toolbox to make some room.

We made these stickers because they say what we believe.
A lot of people feel the same way. They’ve been asking for them since day one.
What we’re building is at least as cool as the stickers. But unlike the stickers, it actually solves the problem.

Infra feels like guesswork. Tests pass. Then prod breaks.
We’re using property-based testing to go beyond examples. Define system rules, throw weird inputs at it, and catch what traditional tests miss.
