Brainboard
Visually build and manage your cloud infrastructure.
Overview
Brainboard is a collaborative platform that enables teams to visually design cloud architectures and automatically generate the corresponding Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). It provides a single source of truth from design to deployment. Brainboard includes drift detection capabilities that compare the deployed infrastructure against the designed architecture and the generated code, alerting users to any discrepancies and helping maintain consistency.
✨ Key Features
- Visual Cloud Architecture Design
- Automatic Terraform Code Generation
- CI/CD Engine for Infrastructure
- Drift Detection
- Template Library
- Collaborative multi-user interface
🎯 Key Differentiators
- End-to-end solution from visual design to deployment and management.
- Automatically generates valid Terraform code from diagrams.
- Built-in CI/CD and drift detection.
Unique Value: Bridges the gap between cloud architecture design and implementation, ensuring that what is designed is what is deployed and remains so through drift detection.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Visual design of cloud infrastructure with auto-generated Terraform code.
- Detecting drift by comparing live infrastructure to the visual design.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Teams with an existing, code-first Terraform workflow who do not want a visual designer.
- Organizations looking for a simple, CLI-based drift detection tool.
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike pure diagramming tools, Brainboard makes architectures deployable. Unlike pure code tools, it makes infrastructure visual and accessible to a wider audience.
