#12Developers waiting on the dev/sandbox environment for their turn, is such a frequent issue within our team specially when the sprint is about to end. This solution really looks cool and will be trying this out tomorrow.I am sure our cloud team will be very much interested in this.

Indeed, we've seen that happening very often. I lost count of how many times I've seen developers have a Slack or Discord channel to coordinate who's gonna using staging/dev and when.
Please let me know if you need any help setting it up. We'd love to help in any way we can.

One point i am curious about is the way you described you intend to make money, by providing a managed service. I am just thinking that if this service gets really liked by people, won't aws/gcp/azure create managed services out of this code and then it will be difficult for you to sell your services as most companies like to use the services their existing infrastructure is already on. Something similar to what happened with elasticsearch.

#18Does this only work with Kubernetes? I can't tell for sure from the site and all the diagrams have Kubernetes at the bottom. Might be worth clarifying or showing other examples like with ECS or serverless infrastructure.

Yes, it does. It’ll work with anything you can write a Terraform file for.
In the case of Kubernetes, for example, you can use the Kubernetes provider or even just Helm to deploy your pods.
Great idea to add ECS/Serverless specific examples. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm eager to try out this approach with an upcoming project.
