Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Understands infrastructure state to allow parallelized runs and collaboration on infrastructure as code changes. Supports Terraform, Pulumi, Cloudformation, and k8s. Integrates into existing workflows e.g. pull requests. Policies allow RBAC and approval flows, defined using Open Policy Agent. Drift detection. Product has some personality e.g. subtle space references in log output.
