Another team offsite is starting - a few days full of team work and chemistry!

We just released formae 0.80.0:

- Plugin SDK - build on formae, your own plugins in hours.
- beta support for GCP, Azure, OCI, and OVHCloud.

Platform Engineering Requires Abstraction. But existing IaC tools don’t abstract infrastructure.

Existing #IaC tools weren’t built for platform teams. They were built for one person doing everything, which is why infra changes are slow and painful.

We’re building the abstraction layer #PlatformEngineering needs to move fast without friction.

My VPC Wouldn’t Delete: Resources AWS Creates (But Doesn’t Tell You About) When managed services quietly manage more than you bargained for

Blog: blog.platform.engineering/my-vpc-would...

Ever try to delete a VPC only to find AWS has hidden resources still attached?

Managed services often create infra your #IaC never sees until it blocks teardown or raises costs.

Our latest blog explores this problem & how Platform Engineering Labs is building tools to fix it.👇

Early access is here! Thousands registered for our tool code named "sunset . tf", and we’re onboarding the first group of users.

Invites are going out. Didn’t get one yet? More are coming soon!

Configuration? Pkl! AWS CloudFormation team is using Pkl, and you should, too.

🚫 YAML is fragile
✅ Pkl makes config safe

Pavlo’s blog explains #Pkl and why it matters. At Platform Engineering Labs, we take Pkl further. Our new tooling is launching soon, and we’re turning configuration from grind into fun.

Don’t f**k it up! Use Pkl. Eliminate human error.

💰 Millions are wasted annually because infra tools push risk onto people with no safety nets.

#Pkl helps eliminate misconfigurations from the start.

We’re building even more safety into the future of #infrastructure. Check out this blog & join the waitlist. Links in thread 👇

Original Metal Spotify playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/6HH...

#Infra broken at 2 a.m.? That’s when most engineers blast metal. 🤘 Listen to our first playlist!

But what we’re building at Platform Engineering Labs will bring relief, calm, and control… like jazz for your infrastructure. 🎷 Smooth, predictable, no chaos.

We’re bringing the #IaC rebellion to #KubeCon Atlanta. Are you ready?! 😈

Swing by our booth to:
• Get a demo of our infras software
• Talk shop w/ the crew of IaC outlaws
• Grab the legendary goodies everyone keeps asking about

Find us. Hang out. Let’s break the old way of doing things together.

In software, you get tests and safety nets. In ops, you get fire. 🔥

That’s why we’re building #infrastructure tools for the moments where ops actually happens (when things break, drift, or scale unexpectedly).

Launching soon. Join the waitlist → platform.engineering

When your system is burning at 2AM, the last thing you need is made up Terraform code. ▶️

First launch coming soon!

Every infra tool nails Day 0. Almost none of them help on Day 1. ▶️

We’re building a new tool to close that gap.

And we’re getting ready to launch! Join the waitlist → platform.engineering

The waitlist for our new infra tool is OPEN! 🎉

Engineers who’ve seen the early version of it said: “Holy sh*t!”

We haven’t revealed to the public what it is yet, but let's just say you might want to start cleaning out your toolbox to make some room.

AI Is Not For Beginners AI is great, but it can’t help you if you don’t already understand your infrastructure… ▶️ We think AI should support the whole team, not just the top 1%. That’s why we’re building AI native…

AI is great for infrastructure experts. But we think it should support the whole ops team.

We made these stickers because they say what we believe.

A lot of people feel the same way. They’ve been asking for them since day one.

What we’re building is at least as cool as the stickers. But unlike the stickers, it actually solves the problem.

Follow us here. Launch is coming soon.

AI’s continuous memory will transform infra management. We need tools built for the AI era, not layered on outdated systems. ▶️ Watch our take.

P.S. We're harnessing AI to reimagine infrastructure management.

Launching soon. Stay tuned.
