Show HN: OpsFlow – Low-code DevOps – Webflow for infrastructure

#1
Opsflow cofounder here! We launched a bunch of things recently, some of them well received (Terragen, AWS Bootstrap). It's no secret that AWS is hard, and our mission is to make it simple.

What HN crowd helped us realise is that the UI was still not simple enough. Rather confusing in fact.

So in the last couple weeks we have radically simplified it based on your feedback. We have removed the unnecessarily complex concepts like Services and Environments - it's just Apps now. All options are now on the new Settings screen. Instead of Infrastructure and Software deployments there is now a sequence of steps.

Check it out - and tell us what you think!

Here's our launch on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/opsflow

Why it seems like just about everybody tries to remove actual programming from my interaction with AWS?

Cloudformation with it's horrible piles of YAML (that you end up templating anyway), serverless framework with slighty less horrible YAML again with hundreds of tricks in it just to make it flexible enough for larger projects and multiple environments.

Absolutely horrible HCL in terraform which again tries to reinvent the wheel with it's broken implementation of conditionals and iterations.

And now this. As if creating a simple pipelines and basic AWS setups was what everybody is struggling with. Today even some founders and CEOs can handle that!

Thanks, people! I will be better off writing everything in actual programming language, with proper apis, network communication tooling, proper abstractions, libraries, iterations, conditions and all the good stuff. No need to take it away from me and replace with YAML or, even worse, web interfaces!

Waited a long time for something like this. Tired of wasting time on IAM roles. Congrats on your launch!

thanks!!! that's what we thought as well :) OpsFlow automatically generates IAM roles, security groups and stuff like that. And Terraform - which you can fully customize

It redirected me to something called "Digger" at Digger.dev. Are you the same company?

Same team behind it. But it's a completely new UI, much simplified and streamlined. From previous launches we learned that the UI was quite confusing, and rebuilt it from scratch. The old one can be found at app.digger.dev; this is dashboard.digger.dev

Congrats on your launch.

I'll have to check it out this weekend.

But as UI / UX goes - and in a similar-ish space- Buddy.works is so smooth I think sometimes smile to myself while I'm using it. BW is a great example for all of us.

Not knocking your product; just trying to help.

Good luck!!
