Related tangent: earlier today I discovered https://disco.cloud, which may speak to the same audience while focusing more on "self-hosted" PaaS (ie, any VPS) vs scaffolding for AWS/GCP/Azure.

I was hoping I was the DevOps/Platform/SRE plugin for my agents!

Can this be used with the ponytail skill? https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail/tree/main

Why do you need a plug-in for this? You can just ask the agents to do all this stuff and it works fine in my experience.

It does sound cool and as an infra nerd myself it reads sensible, I just don't see why I would want another abstraction layer between my cloud deployments being rolled out and the tf/hcl files that I maintain. Why would I want to install another interface between me, the planfile and the running environment? Genuine question

The real Gilfoyle would self-host.

> The same reference app (HTTP service + worker + cron + Postgres), smallest tier, all three environments, live prices via Infracost:

Hetnzer server for 25usd/month and you have plenty more space to do more stuff and scale

This seems like a great way to wake up and have your cloud spend skyrocket because an LLM assumed wrong.

Why not opentofu and ansible? Version and run it. I don’t see why i need this.

Sometimes the name of a product makes me want to use it, even if I don’t have uses for it. This is such a name, I just keep on grinning.

Something to try for sure. Company recently migrated some ancient on prem databases to AWS, would've been useful then perhaps.

The guy in the image doesn't look very euphoric, not even in a subtle way. Sorry, not the neckbeard plugin I was looking for. Mine must be influenced by aalewis.

the readme is cringe and painful to read. please take a minute to tone the claudisms down.
