awesome-cloud-dx

This list is compiled from internal Notion pages we wrote at Digger. We used to consider nearly all of these products competition. Digger today is a completely different product (ci/cd orchestrator for Terraform) - so we aren't even on the list!

Most of the companies behind these products are early-stage startups; some descriptions might be out of date as their landing pages are updated frequently. Please submit PRs to fix!

Simplified UX for your cloud account / Kubernetes

These products allow you to have a PaaS-like developer experience with your account at a major cloud provider like AWS, GCP or Azure without having to configure all the building blocks yourself. Think Heroku / Render / Railway kind of experience but powered by your cloud account.

Internal Developer Portals / Service catalogs

These products are primarily for Platform / SRE teams rather than developers. They tend to be less opinionated about the implementation of the underlying infrastructure; more like internal developer-facing UIs that enable developers to follow existing DevSecOps practices.
