2026-09-18 Show HN: Intent Based Infrastructure on Top of Terraform unrated Hey everyone! I built a platform that works on top of Terraform to expose high level constructs you want to create in your infrastructure (intent) rather than actually dealing with cloud resources (typical terraform modules). I am looking for other enthusiasts to work on this project, and gather feedback. The problem I am trying to solve is complexity. Typically you make infra by either asking AI, or dealing with very low level resources that other people on your team might not fully understand. If you expose a higher level construct, people will only typically deal with a well understood graph of intent which is much easier to understand and reason about, without worrying about low level resources. It works by declaring a model graph that consists of simple nodes like App, Region, Environment, Service, Server, etc that you show your intent with. E.g. My infrastructure consists of 3 AWS accounts (QA, Staging, Prod), with 2 Regions in each, and 1 Environment, under which my Service X resides. The Octo library then converts those intent to actual cloud resources using your instructions. E.g. it would convert a Region node into a vpc + internet-gateway. Or an Environment into an ECS Cluster. It will also generate the Terraform code for each of these cloud resources that your intent wanted. You can then run this Terraform code normally and get your infrastructure. There is a lot more depth, features, and roadmap items to this. Happy to go in more detail.

2026-09-03 Show HN: Terraplane: webhook-based Terraform PRs with runners in your network unrated Terraplane lets you run Terraform from GitHub PRs against private networks without punching holes in firewalls. I built Terraplane after running in to the same problem for years: 1: I don't want the IaC pipeline to die when the server it's running on does. An all-in-one box is a single point of failure. 2: I don't want to bend my network around the tools I use. I'd prefer not to punch holes in firewalls or peer networks just so automation can reach what it's managing 3: Cross-account IAM/SA assumption isn't the same as direct network access A runner with cloud credentials can call a lot of APIs for sure. However many TF providers require direct access to the resource they're managing and role assumption often doesn't cut it. Terraplane is designed to address this. An orchestrator component runs somewhere you're happy for public traffic to reach. Webhooks hit the runner and it queues jobs for execution. Agents run inside your network and pull jobs from the orchestrator. They run TF plan/apply locally, and return the output to the orchestrator. Credentials for private services stay in the network they belong to. Terraplane is roughly designed to be ready to write integrations for SCM providers other than GitHub. I haven't done it yet, but it should be fairly trivial. This is an early alpha. I use it for my org's IaC pipeline and I've been happy with the results. I'm open to any and all feedback. I built this for me, I hope it works for you.
