The honest readpros and trade-offs, side by side

What works

Production-ready IaC from plain English

Security checks before deploy

Cost visibility before commit

The trade-offs

Generated code requires expert review before production apply

Cloud-specific nuances still require deep knowledge

Where people go wrong

The failure modes builders hit most often. Avoiding these is most of the battle.

01Applying without reviewing the terraform plan

02Ignoring Checkov warnings on 'low' severity

03No state backend configured for team use

Why this works

Generate production-ready infrastructure code from plain English architecture descriptions, with security and cost checks.
