This is a great tool, especially for people who are new to AWS, and find it's interface confusing. How much does this service cost monthly?

@sid_nuthi thanks so much for the feedback! This is extremely helpful. What are the most confusing parts? What did you expect to see but couldn't find / do? Re pricing, the standard plan is 50$ per user per month

@igorzij I mostly work with lambda and serverless API's, and I feel as though it would be helpful if you could create lambda functions straight out of the box as a built-in template instead of having to create a new terraform to create lambda functions. I would like to also see an s3 console of sorts, so users can se what is inside of their s3 buckets without having to go back to the AWS console. I feel as though this is a great idea, but legacy members of AWS would have a harder time switching as they have gotten so used to the console/cli that AWS has provided. I feel as though this would be better targeted towards people who are newer to AWS, as the console/cli is extremely confusing, and this would help greatly. As this product would most likely be used by newbees, it would dramatically improve user experience if you were to add features in which the IDE would 1) Autocorrect/Autofill and 2) Highlight missing or incorrect information before launch (for example, if the user forgets to specify a container_port for a docker module, the ide would mark that entire as red, and when hovered it will display the error that the container_port hasn't been set). I have been using AWS for 2 years now, and have still got a lot to learn. I would gladly switch over to this service if these features are introduced. The only other problem I have with this tool is the price. 50$/person per month seems a bit excessive looking from the outside, and this can quickly turn many newbees away, as well as people who would gladly use the service for its convenience (like me). As great as the service is, I would not pay 50$ a month for the convenience. This is a great product with great potential, and I wish you all the best in your launch journey.

Hi Makers and Hunters! We couldn't be more excited to share Terrabook with you today At Digger our mission is to make cloud simple for everyone. We strongly believe that dealing with AWS should not require studying documentation for days. The tools should help us, not make things harder. Now, there is such thing as Terraform which every DevOps engineer uses. It is basically a programming language to describe infrastructure. In itself it is easy; but you need to be an AWS expert to use it. Terrabook allows you to build your stack without any knowledge of AWS or Terraform! It is similar to Replit, but for infrastructure. Or maybe Google Colab for Terraform :) ✅ Just start with a pre-built template - Terrabook will add a snippet automatically ✅ Modify configuration as you like - Terraform is easy to understand when it's already there ✅ Mix and match different blocks, rearrange, or even write completely custom code ✅ Deploy to AWS in one click, just connect your account Give it a try and let us know what you think!

This is dope! I LOVE the fact that you have a playground right on the home page. Curious question from another founder: With an app like this, did you have a hard time getting people to beta test since trusting an app to execute terraform changes is a bit scary and also pretty involved? I mean that in terms of engineers worrying about potential fallout or just nervousness from testing out an app like this. Great work!

@colinmathews thank you Colin!! no actually the opposite - in the early days we got crazy high response rates even on poorly written cold emails, and that's what got us the first few paying customers. Because startups are facing an impossible dilemma: on the one hand, it's obvious that AWS or equivalent major players like Azure or GCP are the way to go because some of their power will soon be needed. And it's free because they give plenty of free credits to startups. Sounds too good to be true? Yeah, there is a catch: it's complex so you get free cloud in exchange to having to hire a cloud expert :) Suddenly a very different deal. In the early days we didn't even have keyless connection with limited privileges and required users to enter admin keys. They didn't mind because the alternative is to spend weeks learning AWS or hire expensive devops specialists. Now of course we do things properly. Trust standards shift - same can be said about CI providers like CircleCI and yet today no one minds entrusting them with sensitive stuff. You can think of Digger as a CI + configuration UI for infrastructure management. Plus we now also have granular access controls.

I did some infrastructure-as-a-code work on AWS with terraform a while back and could've definitely used something like this. I'd like to recommend this to my engineering teams. What advantages do you bring to the table compared to intelliJ terraform plugin? Is support for Cloudformation?
