What is StackGen?
StackGen positions itself as a generative infrastructure platform designed to streamline cloud infrastructure management. It enables users to visualize, secure, and automatically generate cloud infrastructure configurations based on inputs such as existing cloud environments, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), or application code. The platform aims to simplify complex processes like cloud migration, infrastructure transformation, and deployment for greenfield applications, thereby accelerating time-to-market and enhancing operational efficiency.
The platform integrates with existing workflows and toolchains, eliminating the need for extensive pipeline rewrites. It offers features for standardizing IaC, enforcing governance and compliance policies, managing the infrastructure lifecycle, and automating workflows across teams. StackGen emphasizes improving developer experience (DevEx) by allowing developers to generate necessary infrastructure without deep IaC expertise and focuses on enhancing security through standardized frameworks and least-privilege access principles.
Features
- InfraComposer: Visual infrastructure blueprinting.
- Cloud-to-Code: Generates standardized IaC from existing cloud environments.
- Cloud-to-Cloud: Automates cloud migration processes.
- Infrastructure from Code: Generates infrastructure directly from application code (Java, Python supported initially).
- Customization: Supports bringing your own components (BYO), customizing IaC modules, and defining custom policies (Identity, resource, IAM).
- Governance Enforcement: Embeds governance rules into IaC generation.
- Compliance Enforcement: Automates cloud compliance checks and enforcement.
- IaC Lifecycle Management: Manages infrastructure deployment and rollback.
- Workflow Automation: Standardizes infrastructure workflows across teams.
- Agentic AI: Provides autonomous infrastructure capabilities.
