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. More in our blog👇 linked below

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. Our latest blog explores this problem & how Platform Engineering Labs is building tools to fix it.👇

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. Follow us here. Launch is coming soon.

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. Code + walkthrough here:

Cloud APIs should be predictable and transparent—not black boxes with hidden side effects. We asked AWS to resize a volume. Status: "SUCCESS" Result: Nothing changed. No error. No warning. Just a hidden constraint in the config. Read what happened next:
