Brainboard

Brainboard sits at the intersection of diagramming tools and infrastructure-as-code. You drag cloud resources onto a collaborative canvas and the platform generates Terraform or OpenTofu code instantly, with security, cost and scaling considerations baked in from the first design. Because the picture and the code stay in sync, architects, DevOps engineers and platform teams work from one shared source of truth instead of rewriting diagrams after every change.

Beyond code generation, Brainboard handles the operational side of cloud infrastructure: a central library of Terraform and OpenTofu modules, GitOps workflow that connects your infrastructure to a git repository, drift detection and remediation to catch divergence between your source of truth and what is actually running, and synchronised architectures that keep dev, QA, staging and production environments aligned.

The platform targets organisations that take infrastructure seriously - it publishes use cases for healthcare, financial services, retail, telecom and government, plus patterns such as one-click migration to IaC, internal service catalogues for self-serve provisioning and disaster recovery planning. It positions itself as Terraform-as-a-Diagram, and is favoured by enterprise architects and DevOps teams. A free tier lets teams start without a contract, with paid plans for larger collaboration and governance needs.
