Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built TellIaC because cloud architecture discussions always happen in plain English ("We need an AWS VPC with 2 subnets connected to an EC2 instance"), but converting that into code takes hours of writing complex YAML, HCL, or JSON boilerplate. TellIaC solves this by letting you write cloud infrastructure as simple, natural English sentences. What makes it unique: • 1-Click Terraform Exporter (telliac export): Converts plain English into valid Terraform HCL anytime with zero vendor lock-in. • FinOps Cost Estimator (telliac cost): Shows exact monthly spend breakdown in USD before deploying. • Security Linter (telliac lint): Scans for open security groups and exposed secrets automatically. • Standalone Binaries: Pre-compiled executables for Windows and Linux — zero Python needed.

Is YAML/HCL still the best way to write cloud infrastructure in 2026?

Hey everyone!

As we get ready for the launch of TellIaC (Human Infrastructure as Code) tomorrow, I wanted to open up a quick discussion with the community.

Over the last few years, cloud infrastructure code has grown incredibly verbose. Managing hundreds of lines of YAML or complex HCL for simple AWS/GCP setups often leads to syntax errors, high maintenance overhead, and steep learning curves for developers.

We built TellIaC to test a hypothesis: What if infrastructure could be declared in plain English sentences while still exporting 100% native Terraform HCL with zero lock-in?
