InfraCopilot: The Wolfram Alpha of Infrastructure

    • Open Source
    AWS Application Composer[0], Brainboard[1] and Cloudmaker[2] are a 1:1 mapping tool between a visual representation and an infra-as-code representation. They're more similar to Scratch[3]. You still need to know what to place to get an outcome you're interested in - If you want to set up a globally low latency static web site, or connect an RDS to a Lambda, you still need to figure out CloudFront, custom domains, VPCs, RDS Proxy, draw it all in, etc. And if you were to change RDS into DynamoDB, you'll have to manually undo/reshape the diagram/topology/IaC because some elements no longer make sense or are needed InfraCopilot is more akin to Wolfram Alpha, in the sense that it has an intelligence/understanding of architecture. You can use high level design to describe your intent and requirements/constraints, and it will deterministically implement it (this isn't LLMs or ChatGPT). When you attempt low level changes, it will validate that they maintain correctness, because it has an understanding of impacts. When you reshape elements, it has the understanding of follow-on effects, and how to propagate them into the rest of the architecture, all while staying valid.
