Infrastructure without black boxes
Why we built Cloud Engine, and the one idea that matters.
Describing what you want to build shouldn't require weeks of cloud-console archaeology. Cloud Engine captures requirements through a dynamic questionnaire, normalizes them into a structured Infrastructure Intent, and runs a deterministic Architecture Decision Engine to produce a canonical Architecture IR — then projects that single model into an interactive diagram, production-oriented Terraform, and cost, security, and reliability analysis.
The one idea that matters: the Architecture IR is the single source of truth. The diagram you review, the Terraform you download, and every analysis you read are projections of the same model — never generated independently, and never generated directly from LLM prose. AI assists at the edges (interpretation, explanation, recommendations); a deterministic engine remains authoritative.
That's what "no black boxes" means here. Every resource in your plan traces back to an answer you gave and a rule you can inspect, and nothing deploys without your explicit approval.
What we optimize for
Deterministic by design
The same answers always produce the same architecture, the same Terraform, and the same plan. The engine is auditable — never a dice roll.
Security first
Least-privilege IAM, encryption, and network isolation are defaults, not add-ons. Generated code never embeds credentials, and deploys are approval-gated.
Multi-cloud native
One canonical architecture model projects to AWS, GCP, and Azure. Switch providers without redesigning — the IR stays the same.
