Digger - Build on AWS without having to learn it, no-code DevOps

by•
AWS is hard. Digger makes it simple by automatically generating infrastructure for your code. Deploy containers, webapps and functions in one click. Easier than Heroku and 2-10x cheaper. Customise with Terraform under the hood. Use your AWS free credits!

Hello ProductHunt! Igor here, co-founder of Digger.dev – I am super excited to show it to you all today! 🤯 The complexity of AWS is frustrating. It now has over 200 services, and it takes lots of knowledge and upfront work to just get your apps deployed. The only other option is to use PaaS like Vercel or Heroku. They have great developer experience, but unfortunately only work for small projects. Teams inevitably need some of those 200 services; so they are forced to go with big cloud providers, which is hard. 🚀 Digger fixes that by automatically generating infrastructure for your code, in your AWS account. You can launch in minutes and get a future-proof stack at the same time. No need to build from scratch, or even think of infrastructure at all! But unlike PaaS, there are no limitations on what you can build with Digger – because under the hood it generates Terraform. You can customise it or even use your own templates when time comes. ✅ Easy to use Web UI + powerful CLI ✅ Deploy webapps, serverless functions and databases: just connect GitHub repositories ✅ Multiple environments: replicate your entire stack in a few clicks. Dev / staging / production; short-lived for testing; per-customer ✅ Zero-configuration CI with GitOps: pick a branch for each environment and your services will be deployed on every git push ✅ Logs, environment variables, secrets, domains: never touch AWS again! 🙎The team behind Digger are engineers who previously worked on Amazon Prime Video, Palantir Foundry and Fitbit Group Wellness. Before starting Digger we learned many lessons the hard way from building in-house tools on top of AWS. 👩‍💻Infrastructure-as-code tools of today have some major shortcomings. Digger introduces a couple of new concepts to address them, like separation of infrastructure interface from configuration. More details here:
Thanks! Everything that helps make AWS cheaper/easier is always welcome. Do we need to use terraform before picking this up or would it work with our existing docker images?
Maker
no you don't need to - it'll pick up your docker images and generate the Terraform for you. You don't even need to think about it. It's only if you have some TF already or want to customise it - then you still can.
this looks incredibly promising esp since AWS billing and backend tend to make my head spin..
Hello!, ​what would be the main differences with serverless.com? Best of luck!
Maker
thanks!! Excited that you like it. Indeed, AWS isn't built for humans :) It's nothing but "new hardware" and there got to be better tools on top of it!
Maker
Digger is the tool I wish I had when I launched my first startup to quickly bootstrap my services on AWS
Very exciting product! We work a lot with Vercel but still need to have some infrastructure in AWS, until now we've been keeping our own Terraform config for 3 environments, but it's very hard to do preview branches and test the configs locally. Dreaming of the same simplicity as Vercel but still with the flexibility of all AWS services, and this might just be the product that makes that dream come true! Have been testing it a bunch recently and it's super promising :)
Maker
Great to hear this! Indeed, Terrafrom is very low-level. One of the reasons we built Digger is actually that while TF is supposed to make things simpler it doesn't - because you still need to think of every single detail. Digger automates that without taking away the flexibility, giving you a Vercel-like experience on top of TF
Maker
what's your stack like?
Good to see this on PH - all the best ✌️
Maker
Thank you - exciting times!
Great product..! Congratulations on the launch..! Definately share with my friend's..!
Maker
Thank you! Super exciting to hear that
Easy deployment of my infrastructure on my AWS :-)
Maker
Thanks Wilmer!! It is indeed :)
Congrats on the launch!
Maker
thank you!!
Looks exciting. All the best !!
Maker
Thank you!!
Exciting product!
Maker
Thank you! We're super excited about it too :)
Digger looks like a very good product. Want to try it. It might save my dev cost
Maker
Thanks Abdur! Yes indeed, with Digger you can easily save like 30% of your dev cost. Both time-wise and cloud resource costs. And you can go without hiring a DevOps engineer up to a team size of ~100 - which is simply not possible with any other tool today.
