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.👇

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:
