With Architect, any developer can create preview, staging, and even prod environments. And we're dependency-aware and powered by GitOps so that every PR spins up a deployment that is production-grade, including the APIs, databases, and events it needs to run.

Hey there, Product Hunt! 🙌 I’m stoked to share Architect with you today! In a nutshell, Architect is a cloud platform that we built to allow any developer to deploy any app, anywhere. In my past lives as an engineering leader, I always wanted to give my teams the best tools to design and develop microservices and other complex cloud applications, but I was sick of having them waste time and lose interest in CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code (IaC). That’s why I, along with an awesome team, created Architect! No more infrastructure, and no more pipelines. Just your application and its architecture. 📢 Simple and declarative - Every time you deploy, Architect recurses through your dependencies and auto-deploys anything missing from the target environment so that your app always has what it needs to run. 🪄 No infrastructure, no pipelines - Developers use simple declarations, like which database type they need, to describe their application. When you deploy, Architect automatically generates the pipelines and infrastructure needed to make that happen. 🔐 Stronger security without the hassle - We can bolster cloud security by generating strict network policies with every deployment. Now your cloud environment can safely, and easily enforce zero-trust network security. We want to take Architect to the next level, it’s why we’re here. We need your support to make this launch a success! 💪So please show us some love ❤️ (we accept feedback too 😜) let’s keep this party going! 🎊

@thorlax402 The idea is very interesting. But we need to try it out in practice. I hope it will be successful and will simplify a number of technical difficulties.

@thorlax402 I don't know much about the development side of things, but it looks like quite a bit of work went into making this! Good luck with it.

@thorlax402 Sounds good. Security is the most important thing when we are saving our data in cloud.

Thanks @viktor_shpudeiko. We'd love to have you try it out! Architect is open-source for local via our CLI, and freemium for remote environment creation. So give it a shot and let us know if you have any issues!

@thorlax402 Congratulations on the launch of Architect! Your platform sounds like a great solution for developers who want to deploy cloud applications without the hassle of managing infrastructure and pipelines. Good luck with the launch! 🚀

Could you clarify what is the difference between your project and other deployment tools (Terraform, Serverless Framework, etc.)?
David Thor

@capator Great choice of comparisons because we're a bit like the best of both! Our Component Framework gives developers a simple way to describe their own applications (how does it run, what databases does it need, and what other APIs does it depend on) in an infrastructure-agnostic way like Serverless, and our recursive delivery allows developers to create e2e environments like Terraform and other IaC. Our dependency management provides some added security benefits as well, but our focus is creating a great experience for developers to create cloud-native applications and test in their own cloud environments.

So many dependencies and auto-deployments happening in the background, how do you ensure that everything runs smoothly without any hiccups? Have you implemented any safeguards or monitoring systems to catch issues before they become problems?

@heyumarkhan Building distributed applications can be hard and there's no silver bullet to debugging issues across different applications and repos. But Architect helps a ton by exposing those issues early and often. Most teams really can't identify problems with microservices or API integration until they reach a real cloud environment (e.g. dev, staging, or sometimes prod) because that's where their monitoring tools are deployed. By giving developers the ability to create e2e environments on-demand, they're able to see and remediate any issues much earlier in the lifecycle. At the end of the day, we're a continuous delivery tool, not a monitoring tool. There are other great tools we work with (e.g. Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, etc) that do that job well already. That being said, we're fully transparent about what's happening under the hood with Architect. Developers have full access to the raw deployment logs so they can easily see what did (or did not, hopefully) go wrong with their deployments.
