The complexity of infrastructure as code has become a significant bottleneck in modern software development. Developers struggle with learning Terraform and Helm, while DevOps teams are weighed down by template maintenance and compliance requirements.
Enter StackGen's "generative infrastructure platform" – a revolutionary approach that's changing how teams handle cloud deployments. In this enlightening conversation, founder Asif Awan explains how their dual-focused solution meets developers where they are while empowering DevOps teams with better governance tools. The platform intelligently understands application intent either through code analysis or visual design, then automatically generates fully compliant infrastructure code without requiring developers to become infrastructure experts.
What makes StackGen particularly powerful is its approach to AI implementation. Rather than just offering code suggestions that still require expert review, it provides deterministic infrastructure generation for developers who don't understand Terraform while giving DevOps experts AI-assisted tools for crafting sophisticated modules. This two-pronged strategy has attracted major enterprise customers including NBA, Nielsen, SAP, and Autodesk who are using the platform for infrastructure transformation, module lifecycle management, and complete IaC governance.
The vision extends beyond simplification toward truly autonomous infrastructure – self-provisioning, self-healing, and self-adjusting based on application intent and business requirements. For teams struggling with cloud complexity, security integration, or multi-cloud strategies, StackGen offers a glimpse into a future where infrastructure truly manages itself. Check out their integration with developer portals like Backstage or try them through Google Marketplace to experience how development can flow without infrastructure friction.
