Developing a platform to make creating infrastructure easy on AWS
My friend and I have been in the DevOps role of deploying applications to cloud, one of the problems we had was connecting cloud services is time-consuming and we wanted a simple way to create and connect different services.
Deploying a simple application takes hours to be configured correctly, not to mention the time it takes to figure out the permissions, services required to deploy your application on the cloud.
We think that developers and startups would want a simple and quick and easy way to bootstrap their infrastructure while having the flexibility and configuration that the cloud provides.
Currently building a drag & drop tool to make it easy for developers and startups to get started quickly, providing them boilerplate templates for them to get started quickly while providing the tools to configure their infrastructure easily on AWS.
Some features that we are currently working on.
- Automatically configure implicit services. E.g. Having an option to select CDN and SSL for your S3 bucket that automatically creates services like CloudFront, linking of certificate automatically to CloudFront distribution.
- Drag and drop tool to connect cloud services.
- Connecting git-based workflow directly to your cloud component.
We tested our use case by creating a simple workflow to create our landing page and we found it to be pretty convenient.
Would like to ask for some feedback on the landing page and also some of your thoughts if this is something you would like to have. If you'd like to try it out feel free to enter your email and we can drop you a link!
