Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Kerem.
For years I was the person my team pinged before anything touched AWS. Not because nobody else could write the code, but because the picture of how everything fit together lived in a few heads. Every change waited on one of us. And when it didn't wait, we found out weeks later, on the bill.
I didn't want to build another tool that makes infrastructure "easier". I wanted the expertise a team already has to travel with every change: you see what you're about to build, you know what it will cost, and someone else looks at it before it ships. That's where "your expertise, at Paxper speed" comes from.
Today is the first time we're showing Paxper outside our own circle, and honestly, I'm a little nervous. If you work on cloud infrastructure, I'd love to hear what slows your team down, what's missing here, and what you'd want next. I'll be here all day reading every comment.

It's wonderful tool. Instead of using AWS console with different tabs on browsers, I'd like to use such a tool. Congrats team!
@sevki_kocadag Thank you for your kind comments!
congrats!! does the diagram stay true if someone hotfixes stuff straight in the console at 2am? that drift is usually where these break
@igorblink Thanks! And you're right, that's exactly where most of these tools fall apart.
Short answer: the diagram doesn't silently rewrite itself to match the console. It stays the source of
truth for what you intended, and Paxper tells you when reality stops matching it.
Drift detection compares your live AWS resources with the last successful apply. You can run it on demand
or schedule it (hourly up to daily). It shows which resources were added, removed or modified, and for
each changed attribute, the expected vs. the actual value. A drift alarm fires when something's off.
So for the 2am hotfix: the next morning you see exactly what was changed. If the fix should stay, you put
it in the diagram so the next plan doesn't undo it. If it shouldn't, the next apply brings things back in
line.
finding out on the bill weeks later is way too familiar, seeing what a change will cost before it ships is the part i'd show a team first
how close is the estimate to what AWS actually charges, does it count data transfer or only the resources on the diagram??? and can the reviewer be someone with no AWS acess at all???
