Brainboard
Visually build and manage your cloud infrastructure.
Overview
Brainboard is a collaborative visual solution for designing, deploying, and managing cloud infrastructures. It allows teams to create cloud architecture diagrams that automatically generate Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). Brainboard also includes features for drift detection, enabling users to compare their designed architecture with the actual deployed infrastructure and identify any discrepancies.
✨ Key Features
- Visual Cloud Architecture Design
- Automatic Terraform Code Generation
- Drift Detection and Management
- CI/CD for Infrastructure
- Multi-Cloud Support (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Team Collaboration
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Automatic two-way sync between diagram and Terraform code
- Integrated CI/CD for infrastructure
- Visual 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.
