StageAuto turns Terraform into actionable infrastructure risk findings

I've been working on StageAuto, a desktop Infrastructure Risk Analyzer for Terraform.

The basic idea is simple:

You give StageAuto Terraform configuration, and instead of only looking at raw .tf files, it produces structured findings across:

  • Security
  • Architecture
  • Compliance
  • Cost Optimization

Each finding explains what was detected, which resource is affected, why it matters, the potential impact, and a recommended action.

For example, the analysis can surface things like public infrastructure exposure, unencrypted resources, overly broad IAM permissions, unsafe trust relationships, and cost-related opportunities.

I'm particularly interested in the transition from:

Terraform configuration → infrastructure meaning → actionable finding.

The product is already built and I'm now focused on getting it in front of real users and learning where the strongest demand is.

I'm also making the free version available so people can try the analysis without immediately committing to the paid product.

Would love to hear from other developers, DevOps engineers, cloud engineers, or security engineers who regularly work with Terraform:

What is the most annoying part of reviewing Terraform for security and infrastructure risk?
