Why a Terraform plan is not a forecast
The plan tells you which resources will change. It does not tell you what will happen. The difference, in production, is everything.
Engineering essays, architecture deep dives, and reflections from the teams using and building InfraTwin.

Monthly cost reviews are too late. We rebuilt our forecasting model so the right delta shows up at PR time, with reserved coverage baked in.
Policy diffs lie. Role chains and federation make real authorization opaque. Here's how we model effective access continuously.
Staging clusters don't behave like production. We rebuilt our scheduler simulation to replay realistic disruption and saturation.
InfraTwin started as an on-call notebook. Here's the journey from a 3am incident to a platform used by thousands of engineers.
Every connector is read-only — and that constraint shaped a better product. A meditation on least privilege in platform tooling.
