Show HN: OpsFlow – Low-code DevOps – Webflow for infrastructure

I was interested in it, but there's no full examples of what it actually produced on the site. No videos, no code. On the Product Hunt site, the video stops right as you're about to push the button. There's no way I'm going to connect this to my AWS account just to find out what it can do without knowing what it's going to do.

I feel like if you need this, you&#x27;re not using the right platform. I don&#x27;t see how someone gets the benefits of IaC with this, seems like it just improves the console experience and auto generates crap IaC. Why even use IaC at this point, aside from your tool probably needing it on the backend to deploy things?<p>If you really need this, seems like you&#x27;d be better served by the low code solutions on the cloud providers (AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google App Engine, Azure App Service).

I really like your demo.<p>A question that always comes up when I see these &quot;Heroku-like&quot; replacements on top of AWS&#x2F;GCP&#x2F;Azure is who is the target user?<p>A couple years ago, you would have platform teams helping developers launch their stuff. Since then, AWS has tried to make things easier through services like App Runner. Nowadays, if you don&#x27;t want to manage the instances yourself, you just use a managed service. Platform teams are essentially dead.<p>It&#x27;s not 2016 anymore and developers should know how their code runs. Trying to &quot;protect&quot; them from infrastructure only hinders their pace long term.

Why it seems like just about everybody tries to remove actual programming from my interaction with AWS?<p>Cloudformation with it&#x27;s horrible piles of YAML (that you end up templating anyway), serverless framework with slighty less horrible YAML again with hundreds of tricks in it just to make it flexible enough for larger projects and multiple environments.<p>Absolutely horrible HCL in terraform which again tries to reinvent the wheel with it&#x27;s broken implementation of conditionals and iterations.<p>And now this. As if creating a simple pipelines and basic AWS setups was what everybody is struggling with. Today even some founders and CEOs can handle that!<p>Thanks, people! I will be better off writing everything in actual programming language, with proper apis, network communication tooling, proper abstractions, libraries, iterations, conditions and all the good stuff. No need to take it away from me and replace with YAML or, even worse, web interfaces!

Hey HN crowd, founder here. The fact that we hit the frontpage somehow broke the new app signup flow. While we are fixing it, we are temporarily redirecting to app.digger.dev (the old UI). Will keep you posted here!

Hey, what you do is very cool! At dstack.ai, we are building an MLOps platform that in some way similar to your approach except we still love and leverage the concept of infrastructure as code! I’d love to chat to discuss the technology under the hood and other things if you are open. You can reach me at andrey at dstack.ai.

Cool that you revamped a bit, I&#x27;ve tested digger.dev once with you!<p>Looks good. I&#x27;d like to see some more full examples<p>E.g. seeing the visual editor and the outcome of the terraform code then.<p>I also would be interested how easy it is to customize the terraform code then without it getting overriden by your system then.

Congrats on your launch.<p>I&#x27;ll have to check it out this weekend.<p>But as UI &#x2F; UX goes - and in a similar-ish space- Buddy.works is so smooth I think sometimes smile to myself while I&#x27;m using it. BW is a great example for all of us.<p>Not knocking your product; just trying to help.<p>Good luck!!

this is pretty interesting. Quick question - let&#x27;s take a popular piece of software (Apache Airflow). Let&#x27;s say i want to set it up on AWS EKS with all the best practices + spot instances cost reduction ... how would i do it with OpsFlow ?<p>The problem with devops is that i dont know the &quot;right way&quot;. I dont know whether i should use private VPC or a public VPC, etc etc.<p>So a library of readymade &quot;templates&quot; would be quite useful.

DevOps is already low-code. You can&#x27;t program people... at least in this sense. Maybe you mean something else like Low-code IaC? Low-Code cloud?

Looks pretty cool and I like the UI. Congrats on another launch! How does this differ from Digger? What&#x27;s the long term vision for this?

Cofounder, everytime I build on AWS I feel a disconnect between abstraction levels. Would love to hear about your feedback from OpsFlow

Under &quot;Try it right here,&quot; my first instinct was to drag-and-drop the components from the left onto the right pane.

Just being that guy: isn’t “low-code devops” just “good old ops”?

It redirected me to something called &quot;Digger&quot; at Digger.dev. Are you the same company?

Waited a long time for something like this. Tired of wasting time on IAM roles.<p>Congrats on your launch!

Are you planning to support other cloud platforms as well?
