InfraUX vsTraditional IaC Tools
Discover why thousands of teams are migrating to InfraUX to manage their cloud infrastructure visually, collaboratively, and efficiently
Why InfraUX is different
100% Visual
Design your infrastructure with drag & drop. No need to learn HCL, YAML, or programming languages. InfraUX generates the code for you.
10x Faster
Create and deploy infrastructure in minutes, not hours. With pre-built templates and real-time validation.
Real Collaboration
Work with your team in real-time. See changes instantly, comment and review without merge conflicts.
Comparison with popular tools
We respect all these tools and use them internally. InfraUX doesn't replace them, it complements them with a visual layer.
