AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning

AWS permanently nuked a 10-year customer account—data, backups, everything—after a payment verification failed. That alone broke their own 90-day retention policy. It gets messier. Looks like an internal script meant to run as a “dry run” went full send in production. Blame a Java CLI parsing edge ..

Who does the unsexy but essential work for open source?

Oracle led the line-count race in the Linux 6.1 kernel release—beating out flashier open source names. Most of its work isn’t headline material. It’s deep-core stuff: memory management tweaks, block device updates, the quiet machinery real systems run on...

Terraform Validate Disagrees with Terraform Docs

Terraform’s CLI will throw errors on configs that match the docs—because your local provider schema might be stale or out of sync. Docs follow the latest release. Your machine might not. So even supported fields can break validation. Love that for us...

Platform teams today are struggling with the immense complexity of their cloud estates. Despite using modern IaC tools, they are constantly fighting a losing battle against infrastructure drift, undocumented changes, and the operational messiness that comes from using various tools and sources of truth.

That's where formae comes in. It's an IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) platform that unifies your live environment into a single, versioned system of record, giving you the power to safely manage and evolve it with code.

What makes formae different is that it's the only platform that accepts reality, constantly and automatically discovering and codifying your entire environment into a single source of truth. This is what provides the ultimate benefit: the confidence to manage and evolve your infrastructure safely, without the messiness and toil of the past.
