The problem every founder knows too wellYou started a company to build a product. But somehow you're mass-reading Terraform documentation at midnight.You've mass-opened 23 browser tabs of AWS docs trying to figure out why your deployment failed. You've debugged YAML indentation errors for hours. You've Googled "kubectl restart pod" for the 50th time this month. You've jumped between your IDE, terminal, cloud console, and Lens just to figure out why your app is slow.Sound familiar?Infrastructure is important. But the learning curve is brutal — and even after you've figured it out, actually operating your infrastructure means constantly context-switching between half a dozen tools.We built Architect because we were tired of it.What Architect doesArchitect is an IDE plugin that handles the complete infrastructure lifecycle: design, deploy, and operate — all without leaving your editor.Design visuallyDrag and drop your infrastructure instead of writing syntax. VMs, databases, load balancers, Kubernetes clusters — just draw your architecture on a visual canvas.No YAML indentation to debug. No HCL syntax to memorize. No Docker Compose files to copy-paste from Stack Overflow.The visual designer works the way your brain works: you see your infrastructure as a diagram, not as hundreds of lines of config files.Deploy automaticallyOne click generates production-ready Terraform, Kubernetes, and Docker configurations from your visual design. Another click deploys it to your cloud provider.We support AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Hetzner — with the same interface for all of them. No vendor lock-in, no learning different syntaxes for different clouds.You get full access to the generated code. Edit it, version it, customize it. Architect doesn't lock you into a proprietary format.Operate without context-switchingHere's where we're different from other visual IaC tools.Design is a one-time activity. But debugging, monitoring, and troubleshooting happen every single day. That's where most tools leave you stranded — back to jumping between terminal, cloud console, and Kubernetes dashboards.Architect keeps you in your IDE:Real-time monitoring — CPU, memory, disk usage at a glance. No cloud console needed.One-click SSH — Click any server in your diagram and SSH in immediately. No terminal juggling.Live log streaming — Watch your infrastructure logs in real-time, right in your editor.Kubernetes pod management — Scale, restart, and inspect pods visually. No kubectl commands to remember.Container management — Start, stop, exec into containers without touching Docker CLI.Terraform execution — Run init, plan, apply from the IDE toolbar.This is the part that saves you time every day, not just on day one.Who it's forSolo founders and indie hackers — You're building a product, not a DevOps career. Architect lets you ship infrastructure without the 6-month learning curve.Small dev teams — You don't have a dedicated DevOps engineer. Architect gives everyone on the team the ability to deploy and debug without deep infrastructure expertise.Developers who use AI coding assistants — Cursor, Copilot, Claude can generate your app code. Architect handles the infrastructure code the same way — visually, automatically.Anyone tired of YAML — No judgment. We're tired of it too.
