Appreciate the detailed feedback and definitely agree that wrapping these cloud services is a bad idea. Our last product did this and it went exactly how you described.

Our goal isn’t really to make deploying “easy” per se, we mainly want to help infra / DevOps teams make better configuration changes faster by blending AI code gen with specialized RAG + static analysis + human review. The cool thing about using LLMs for this use case is that we don’t need to do the 1:1 mapping you described, we can instead just teach the agent to use the underlying systems directly.

We like to think of ourselves as the anti-PaaS since we help engineering teams manage their own platform. Most of these teams already use Terraform and can continue to manage their infra however they like, they'll just do it faster and probably catch some issues that slipped through the cracks before.

Our launch post did a bad job mentioning this focus on infra teams, so I apologize if that caused any confusion! Maybe "the Cursor for infra teams" would be a better way to describe infra.new
