Lower the IaC learning curve
How Brainboard Helps
Lowering the learning curve in IaC isn't about simplifying to the point of primitiveness, but about removing unnecessary friction and empowering engineers to do the right things from day one. Brainboard does this through several layers: Visual workflows let you design infrastructure by dragging and dropping - Terraform code is generated automatically and is valid from the start.AI prompts parse provider documentation and suggests accurate values directly in the interface.Smart defaults are built into templates - engineers start with the right configuration, not a blank slate. Built-in automation removes routine steps: validation, security checks, and cost estimation are triggered automatically. Collaboration works in real time - everyone sees the same architecture, changes are tracked, and context is not lost when switching between teams. The result: engineers make a real contribution to the infrastructure in days, not weeks of training.
People
Brainboard reduces the learning curve through intuitive tools accessible to engineers of all levels. You don't need to be a Terraform expert to build production-ready infrastructure - the visual canvas makes the architecture understandable to everyone. Collaborative workflows allow DevOps, developers, and platform teams to work together. Everyone sees the full context, makes changes within their rights, and learns from colleagues in the process of real work. Tribal knowledge is no longer a problem - standards are visible to everyone and built into every template.
Tooling
AI prompts offer accurate values and configuration patterns right in the interface - no need to switch to documentation. Built-in validations catch errors before deployment: misconfigurations, security gaps, and policy violations are detected and fixed cheaply. CI/CD integration works out of the box - plan, review, approve, and apply without having to set it up from scratch. A drag-and-drop UI backed by version-controlled Terraform lets even engineers without IaC experience automatically create correct, maintainable code.
Process
Sustainable infrastructure practices start with the right process. Brainboard standardizes it through reusable templates with built-in guardrails: each template already contains best practices, naming conventions, and security checks. Visual feedback loops show exactly what will change and what the effect will be - before deployment. The producer–consumer model allows experts to create the right template once, and everyone else to use it safely. Sustainable infrastructure practices become the norm, not the exception - because they are built into the tool.
The Challenge
Cloud infrastructure management today requires deep knowledge: Terraform, cloud providers, networking, security, compliance - and all of this is constantly changing. Most engineers are not IaC experts, and they don't have the time to become one through months of training. The result is predictable: dependence on a few key people who become a bottleneck for the entire organization.New engineers are onboard slowly because knowledge lives in their heads, not in tools. Teams do manual builds with variable quality, accumulate technical debt, and spend time parsing someone else's code instead of building new ones. The high barrier to entry into IaC directly slows down the delivery of the entire organization.
Current State
- Cloud infrastructure is increasingly complex, requiring specialized knowledge.
- Most engineers are not experts in Terraform or IaC.
- Building secure, compliant, scalable infra requires learning multiple tools and best practices.
- Training new hires or upskilling engineers slows down delivery.
Business Impact
- Slower time-to-production due to skill gaps.
- ️High dependency on a few experts (DevOps, Cloud Architects).
- Increased risk and inconsistent quality from manual builds.
- Difficult onboarding for new team members.

Architecture Overview
Before Brainboard, engineers faced overwhelming complexity: they had to understand Terraform, cloud services, networking, and security simultaneously - without breaking production.Cloud infrastructure solutions Brainboard changes this picture: engineers start with what they already know, and the platform guides them through each step. The visual interface translates complex concepts into understandable blocks. Best practices are built into templates. The entire lifecycle - build, update, and manage - is managed in a single, user-friendly platform, without the need to switch between tools and documentation.
Current Infrastructure
Engineers have to learn everything and it's overwhelming.
Brainboard Platform
Engineers start with what they know and Brainboard helps them through every step, with best practices and smooth UI.
Managed Infrastructure
Build, update, and manage the complete infrastructure lifecycle in one user friendly platform.
Benefits & Outcomes
The results of lower IaC learning curve with Brainboard are measurable: a 70% reduction in complexity compared to legacy processes, because the visual approach eliminates cognitive overload. 85% acceleration of infrastructure provisioning - templates and automation eliminate manual steps. 90% reduction in errors - inline validation and policy checks catch problems before deployment.Accelerated onboarding: engineers contribute to the infrastructure in days, not weeks. Improved governance: built-in policies, RBAC, and audit trails without additional configuration. Higher delivery speed: teams ship faster with fewer incidents and more predictable results.
