Brainboard
A collaborative platform to visually design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform.
What it does
Provides a visual drag-and-drop canvas to design multi-cloud architectures. Automatically generates production-ready Terraform code for every design change. Features real-time 'Infrastructure Drift' detection to keep code and reality in sync. Includes collaborative features like shared workspaces and architectural templates. Automates the deployment process via built-in CI/CD pipelines.
Why it works
Accessibility: Allows non-experts to build complex cloud environments without knowing deep Terraform syntax. Consistency: Ensures that the 'Diagram' and the 'Code' are always 100% identical. Speed: Reduces the time to architect and deploy a new environment from days to minutes. Security: Built-in policy-as-code checks prevent the deployment of insecure configurations.

A collaborative platform to visually design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform.
Overview
Brainboard is an innovative cloud management platform that transforms text-based Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) into a visual drag-and-drop experience. It allows engineers to design their cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP) on a canvas, while automatically generating the underlying Terraform code in real-time. By unifying design and deployment, it helps organizations reduce time-to-market, improve security, and lower the learning curve for cloud engineering.

Founder story
Founded in 2020 by Chafik Belhaoues and Jeremy Albinet in Paris, France. Both technical experts with 25+ years of combined experience at major cloud providers (like Scaleway), they were tired of the 'disconnect' between whiteboarding an architecture and actually coding it. They built Brainboard to be the end-to-end bridge for engineers.

Who it's for
- Cloud Architects
- DevOps Engineers
- SRE Teams
- Product Managers (Infrastructure)
Why it works
- Accessibility: Allows non-experts to build complex cloud environments without knowing deep Terraform syntax
- Consistency: Ensures that the 'Diagram' and the 'Code' are always 100% identical
- Speed: Reduces the time to architect and deploy a new environment from days to minutes
- Security: Built-in policy-as-code checks prevent the deployment of insecure configurations.
Growth strategies
- Targeted the 'Terraform' community on LinkedIn and Twitter, positioning as the 'Figma for Cloud'.
- Used a high- value product-led model through Y Combinator (W22) to build startup authority.
- Leveraged a massive library of pre- built 'Architectural Blueprints' to drive user onboarding.
- Raised $1.55M in Seed funding to expand their AI- driven code generation engine.
Alternatives
Comparison overview
- Lucidchart: Only does diagrams; Brainboard generates the actual code and deploys it.
- Terraform: Pure code; Brainboard is the visual 'operating system' that makes Terraform accessible to everyone.
- Brainboard is the top choice for teams that want to visualize and automate their cloud journey.
