TFW it works. Last night was the end of a two-month hack-a-thon for me and my cofounder. We've been asked time and time again to support running massdriver in self-hosted environments on-prem and in the cloud. We didn't build massdriver for this originally.

Working on this between self-hosted refactors: a tool that runs plan across all infra instances and flags changes from new policies. Like terraform plan but org-wide — real workloads, real environments. Context-aware, no more blind merges or finger-crossing.

We're getting ready to offer a self-hosted version of Massdriver. I'm putting together a hardening guide for Elixir releases (Kubernetes/Docker, node comms, remote shell lock down, etc). Anyone interested in collaborating or know of an existing guide I could contribute to?

Terraform module updates shouldn’t be a gamble. Here’s a WIP feature in Massdriver: draft publishing. Run your new module version across every invocation of that module usage. Validate, plan, check policy—before anything breaks. Demo video ↓ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA34...

Managing infrastructure with GitOps is awesome until it isn’t. The problem? The read layer. Developers always end up hopping into AWS or bolting on a pile of tools just to figure out what’s going on with their environments. youtu.be/IsMSOvLOHZk

Dropdowns are cool. I had a customer call earlier today where I was demoing managing an Aurora database with OpenTofu, and our simple little dropdown got an audible "woah." What a deceptively simple, yet beautifully versatile UI pattern. youtu.be/8uDZdiR2Ncc
