And this is how @Ravion authenticates with your own AWS account.
we did invent it and it's called OIDC federation vercel and github actions do it: - each deploy gets a short-lived signed token - AWS/npm/other services verify it via trust policy - you get temporary creds no keys to paste the problem is not enough APIs and services accept it

We’re working on some CRAZY awesome new @Ravion products that completely shatter the normal expectations of what’s possible for speed and cost on AWS 🤯

Kubernetes coming VERY soon to @Ravion!! We're now running all Ravion services on Kubernetes Why? Because we get 10-20s deploys instead of 2-3 mins on ECS Combined with our sandbox powered builders = build + deploy around 1 minute 🔥 (yes sandboxes in your AWS coming soon too)

Managing AWS through @Ravion is a real pleasure. In preparation for our EKS deployments, I needed to add another domain name to our API; very simple operation, but touches about 3 different AWS services: 1. ALB 2. ACM 3. Route53 Usually, you need to find the terraform (or your Iac) for each of those and update tfvars (inputs) and run pipelines. Or have your agent go rogue and do all of the changes in AWS CLI, and none gets tracked. With Ravion, single prompt: - Add new domain to API service The agent went its way, figured which modules needs updates, made the changes in ravion.yaml - all done in few minutes. Ravion’s ability to allow discoverability and state management in a single plane of glass is really amazing. Agents do not need to spend tokens trying to discover your infrastructure, then your IaC, then your pipelines structure, everything is discoverable in a single yaml file.

You get these VPC gateway endpoints enabled by default when creating a VPC with Ravion.com 😎
Replying to @tpschmidt_
The part that annoys me: Gateway Endpoints for S3 and DynamoDB are completely free. They've existed for years. They are not enabled by default. So the cheap path exists, AWS just doesn't put you on it. A lot of devs find out after the first painful invoice 💸

Ravion is Railway UX for your AWS account Ravion.com

If you guys turned ease of dev ops on aws into railway then I’ll see you in 11 months after our enterprise contract expires

We used to avoid boilerplate like the plague But now boilerplate is magical because it removes the magic @ravion module definitions are extremely simple yet have a ton of boilerplate. Which is PERFECT for agents.

Four years of feature whack-a-mole taught me you can't build developer golden paths one at a time. You need a framework where building one path makes the next one easier. So we spent 14 months rebuilding our product around that idea. @Flightcontrolhq was the product. @Ravion is the framework. We had set out to build an off-the-shelf developer platform, but we made the mistake of hand-crafting each workflow. Another cloud service type meant another month or two of work, each one harder than the last. The more workflows we supported, the more unhandled edge cases users hit. We needed a pluggable, composable system. A framework, not more features. A framework for platform engineers to turn IaC into developer and agent friendly interfaces. Devs can provision with 1-click, but the platform team fully controls what's provisioned. Now new cloud services are a few lines of config, and every component we add makes the existing ones more capable. My wife has heard me shouting with glee so often this year, because adding to our platform with the Ravion framework makes future ones easier instead of harder. I want every platform engineer to feel that 😁

Agents often get confused setting up or debugging AWS This week an ECS service had downtime, but the agent searched AWS and everything looked fine. Yet the actual problem, a container out of memory crash, was immediately accessible via @ravion

This is the most exciting moment for us, since we started our pursuit for the ultimate control of infrastructure. We have been building Ravion for over a year, Ravion helps us materialize our vision of composable and approachable infrastructure.

It’s time to make this thing flash on @Flightcontrol deploys

Your cloud infrastructure feels complicated because the 3 core components live in different systems: 1. Infrastructure-as-Code. Your Terraform state and history is in something like Terraform Cloud or, God forbid, your local machine 2. Code deployments. Your ECS/k8s deployments are in CI or some other deploy controller. 3. Metrics, logs, cost tracking. Maybe you’re suffering with AWS Cloudwatch or Datadog. Now how can you expect developers to make and monitor changes effectively with this fragmentation? Soon we’re shipping something groundbreaking that solves this in a way every platform engineer will love 👀

I think every team using AWS is going to LOVE the all new @Flightcontrolhq we’ve been working on for 10 months. We’ve designed the most powerful and simple system I’ve ever seen. Devops define IaC that’s turned into a Vercel style interface for developers and agents. Engineered to deploy fast and understand every change. For both your existing infra and new. This product is going to make waves. It’s too much fun. Launching soon!

The design of this user facing system literally blows my mind. It’s is SO SIMPLE yet SO POWERFUL. Infinitely flexible to model any infra and deployment workflow you might want. While also being extremely simple and easy both for devops to implement and for developers to use. I think we’ve finally figured out the fundamental building blocks of infra, enabling the software model to match the world
👀 New @Flightcontrolhq is 100% IaC based AND 100% user configurable! including all orchestration and all UI forms 😱 shown here is our most generic "stack" module that replaces Terraform Cloud / Atlantis, complete with resource tracking but this can get very specific, like wrapping your custom Terraform stacks with a developer facing UI and these modules can reference other modules 😲
