Make Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) a Team Game

Design

Visually Architect

Copy a public template, import existing Terraform files, or start from scratch to build robust multi-cloud architectures the same way you would draw a design on a whiteboard.

Drag and drop cloud infrastructure resources, data resources, custom resources, and terraform modules from any cloud provider supported by Terraform.

Configure Terraform parameters intuitively from the Brainboard canvas and draw static components to guide finance, security, executive and other non-technical viewers of your cloud infrastructure architecture diagrams.

Save your architecture diagrams and the accompanying Terraform code as reusable templates for future cloud infrastructure projects.

How do I generate the Terraform code for my cloud architecture?

The Terraform code is automatically generated for you cloud architecture as you design.

How Brainboard is better than any drawing application?

Brainboard is a one-stop solution for you and your team to Design, Deploy & Manage modern cloud infrastructure. You design your architecture, auto-generate your Terraform code, and deploy your infrastructure within Brainboard.

Do I need to be Terraform expert to use Brainboard?

No. You don't need to be a Terraform or IaC expert to use Brainboard.

In fact, Brainboard simplifies the complexity of Terraform and help you configure cloud resources with a configuration files menu. It will then write clean Terraform code according to best practices.

We also help the community by providing free Terraform trainings, or you can even book a 30min session with us to help on your use-cases.

For advanced Terraform users, Brainboard will just change your life. You'll design faster, test earlier and automate at scale.

What is the difference between Brainboard and vanilla Terraform?

Terraform is a powerful IaC tool that deploys the code you write.

Brainboard, on the other hand, is an end-to-end cloud management solution built on top of Terraform with a visual architecture designer, where the Terraform code is automatically generated. It also has a secure CI/CD engine, native Git integrations and more features to help you standardize and centralize your cloud.

Can I migrate my existing infrastructure into Brainboard?

You have the possibility to import your existing infrastructure and auto-generate the diagram.

We support importing any file that contains a valid Terraform code.There are 2 ways to do it:

- Provide the URL of the Git repo (Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket...)
- Upload one or multiple files
