Why StackGen?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an automated and standardized approach to infrastructure management that removes manual intervention and streamlines cloud deployments. StackGen redefines traditional IaC practices by introducing Generative Infrastructure from Code, which derives IaC configurations directly from application source code or other high-level inputs such as templates and designs.

Overview​

IaC should be a help, not hinder. Yet 97% of users report challenges with IaC, with top concerns around enforcing consistent configurations across environments (56%) and managing multiple tools, which can create steep learning curves and compatibility issues (54%). These issues slow down the entire ecosystem of infrastructure, from software deployment to long-term care and maintenance.

StackGen solves these problems with Infrastructure from Code. It automates IaC creation, cleanup, and refactoring by analyzing, visualizing, and generating secure, compliant infrastructure for every deployment. The Infrastructure from Anywhere to Everywhere approach enables users to bring their own code, standards, and cloud preferences, translating them into consistent IaC for seamless deployment across any cloud environment. This eliminates the need for manual configuration, accelerates workflows, and simplifies infrastructure management. StackGen benefits DevOps, platform engineers, and developers by streamlining processes, reducing errors, and enhancing infrastructure efficiency across any environment.

How Does StackGen Work?​

Infrastructure from Anywhere to Everywhere

  • Infrastructure from Code (Code-to-Code): Auto-generate IaC based on application code with golden standards applied. Deploy to AWS, Azure, or GCP. Build for new applications or refactor legacy applications from the ground up. For developers.
  • Infrastructure from Design (Canvas-to-Code): Drag and drop resources, including resource packs and custom policies, to create and visualize your deployment architecture. Generate secure and compliant IaC based on your preferred architectural standards. For platform engineers and DevOps.
  • Infrastructure from State Files (Cloud-to-Code): Ingest your existing IaC files, enhance and remediate them to ensure reliable, standardized, and secure IaC. Generate IaC for resources created manually or by ClickOps. For platform engineers and DevOps.
  • Infrastructure from Cloud (Cloud-to-Cloud): Migrate infrastructure by translating your IaC from one cloud to another cloud. For platform engineers and DevOps.

Unique Features from the StackGen Approach​

  • Application-Centric: It works with your existing application code and integrates infrastructure without requiring major changes to the source.
  • Standardization by Default: Ensures all configurations remain consistent and policy-compliant, reducing errors and enhancing maintainability.
  • Visual and Intuitive: Supports drag-and-drop infrastructure design, making it accessible even to teams with limited cloud expertise.

StackGen’s approach to IaC simplifies cloud operations, reduces human error, and speeds up the path from development to production, making it a compelling choice for teams aiming to modernize their infrastructure practices.
