New Blog Post! The Citizen Developer
Read hereYour team's opinions become the guardrails.
DevOps writes the IaC. Everyone else describes intent. Massdriver combines a platform orchestrator and developer portal in one system, so infrastructure, policy, and workflows live together.
DevOps teams set the standards
DevOps teams package the Terraform, OpenTofu, and Helm they already trust into bundles: infrastructure, policy, and workflows in one unit. Extending the platform means writing IaC.
Bundles publish to a catalog
Every bundle ships with input schemas, typed output contracts, docs, and policy. What's approved is what's available.
Devs and agents provision by design
Developers and AI agents describe what they need. Massdriver composes it from the catalog, validates it against policy, and executes deterministically with a full audit trail.
Agents can generate infrastructure code. Massdriver is what makes it trustworthy.
Coding agents write Terraform all day. Getting it safely to production is the part that fails. An agent needs to know what is actually running and what it is allowed to touch. Massdriver gives it both.
The Context Engine
A live, queryable model of your infrastructure: what's deployed, how it's connected, what it costs, who owns it, and what's permitted. One GraphQL API feeds your CLI, your portal, your CI, and your agents. Deployments write the graph as they run, so it always shows what actually shipped.
Explore the Context Engine →Massdriver Architect
A Claude Code plugin that takes “the app I need” in plain words and hands back running, production-ready infrastructure. It only builds with what your DevOps team approved, and if the catalog can't do it, it says so and files the request.

“An Agentic Development Platform provides the paths, interfaces, and guardrails that allow both humans and agents to work reliably at the autonomy levels set by the organization.”platformengineering.org
“Massdriver’s platform has revolutionized our approach to infrastructure, saving us 89% of the time spent managing infrastructure. Our operation could upscale by an order of magnitude.”

One governed path.
- ✓Schema validation. Every proposal, human or agent, is checked against the bundle's contract before anything runs.
- ✓Policy enforcement. SOC2, HIPAA, and CIS checks run at design time, before anything is provisioned.
- ✓Attribute-based access control. Rules attach to classifications like environment, team, and blast_radius. Permit whole classes of actions, and an agent can spin up an environment that didn't exist a minute ago with the rules already applied.
- ✓Blast radius containment. Disposable, isolated environments give agents room to deploy and iterate against real feedback without reaching prod.
- ✓Audit everything. Deterministic execution with a full audit trail. Every change is attributable, diffable, and reversible.
Questions you were about to ask.
Do I have to rewrite my IaC?
No rewrites. You package the Terraform, OpenTofu, and Helm you already run into bundles. Massdriver orchestrates and governs them; your IaC still does the provisioning.
How is this different from Terraform Cloud or Atlantis?
Those tools run plans against repos. Massdriver models what is actually deployed as a graph with typed contracts, cost, ownership, and policy attached, then puts self-service and agents on top. Runs and state stay yours.
How is this different from Backstage or an IDP?
A portal catalogs services; humans still click through it. Massdriver is a platform orchestrator: the catalog is executable, agents consume it through the same governed API as humans, and permissions extend to infrastructure that does not exist yet.
What keeps an agent from wrecking prod?
Attribute-based access control scoped by environment, team, and blast_radius, schema validation on every proposal, SOC2/HIPAA/CIS policy checks at design time, disposable isolated environments to iterate in, and a full audit trail. Agents get the same guardrails as humans.
Which agents does it work with?
Architect ships as a Claude Code plugin today. Everything runs through the public GraphQL API and the Massdriver MCP server, so any agent or tool your team uses can integrate.
Is it open source? What about lock-in?
The CLI and bundle tooling are open source at github.com/massdriver-cloud. The platform is commercial and self-hostable. Your IaC stays plain Terraform, OpenTofu, and Helm in your repos and your cloud accounts.
How does pricing work?
Seat-based: start a free 2-week trial of the Business plan, or schedule a consultation to qualify for a free 1-month self-hosted license. Massdriver is also available through the AWS Marketplace. More at massdriver.cloud/pricing.
