Brainboard

Brainboard: Cloud Infrastructure Designer is an AI-powered platform that lets you visually design cloud architectures and automatically generate Terraform/OpenTofu code. It combines design-time visual tooling with IaC generation, enabling self-serve adoption, GitOps workflows, drift detection, and synchronized multi-environment architectures. It supports multi-cloud, integrated CI/CD, RBAC, and secure collaboration, all while emphasizing standardization, cost optimization, and security from day one.

How Brainboard Works

1. Design visually. Create and connect cloud resources using an intuitive, diagram-like interface.
2. Auto-generate code. Instantly produce Terraform/OpenTofu code that reflects your design.
3. Collaborate & govern. Use built-in GitOps, versioning, RBAC, and centralized modules to maintain control and consistency.
4. Operate securely. AI-assisted templating, centralized security controls, and a secure backend for your state and data.

Key Use Cases

• Self-serve cloud design and provisioning using a drag-and-diagram interface.
• Standardize IaC with reusable modules, naming conventions, and shared variables.
• Generate Terraform/OpenTofu code directly from diagrams for rapid deployment.
• Implement CI/CD and GitOps to shift left and accelerate delivery.
• Drift detection and remediation to keep your deployments in sync with the source of truth.
• Multi-cloud collaboration with RBAC, version control, and centralized integrations.

How It Works

• Visual designer to build cloud architectures with security, cost, and scaling considerations from day one.
• Auto-generation of Terraform/OpenTofu code that you can edit and extend.
• Central repository of modules and templates acting as a single source of truth.
• Native Git workflow integration for versioning and collaboration.
• AI-assisted capabilities to accelerate infrastructure design and coding.

Safety and Best Practices

• Promote standardization across teams and environments.
• Enforce security and cost controls from the design phase.
• Use drift detection to continuously align deployments with the desired state.
