Project Editor

The IDE-like workspace for building infrastructure with AI assistance. Three resizable panels: Chat, Code Editor, and File Explorer.

Editor Panels

Chat

Describe infrastructure in plain English. AI writes code with reasoning.

Code Editor

Monaco editor with HCL syntax highlighting, auto-complete, and code folding.

File Explorer

File tree with color-coded icons. Right-click for actions.

Button	Description
Validate	Check Terraform syntax
GitHub	Push, sync, or create PR
Deploy	Run plan and apply
Outputs	View output values
Cost	Monthly cost estimate
Settings	AWS integration & backend

AI Chat

Create Terraform code by describing what you need in plain English.

Example Prompts

Create Resources

"Create an RDS PostgreSQL instance with db.t3.medium, Multi-AZ, and automated backups"

Modify Existing

"Add a lifecycle policy to delete S3 objects after 90 days"

Explain Code

"What does the security group in main.tf do?"

Fix Errors

"I am getting InvalidParameterValue on the EC2 instance"

Example Conversation

You: Create an EKS cluster with 3 t3.medium nodes in us-east-1

AI: I'll create an EKS cluster with a managed node group. Here's what I'm setting up:

VPC with public/private subnets (EKS requires specific networking)
EKS cluster with Kubernetes 1.28
Managed node group with 3 t3.medium instances
IAM roles for cluster and nodes
Security groups for cluster communication

module "eks" {
  source          = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"
  version         = "~> 19.0"

  cluster_name    = "production-eks"
  cluster_version = "1.28"

  vpc_id          = module.vpc.vpc_id
  subnet_ids      = module.vpc.private_subnets

  eks_managed_node_groups = {
    default = {
      min_size       = 3
      max_size       = 5
      desired_size   = 3
      instance_types = ["t3.medium"]
    }
  }
}

You: Add cluster autoscaler

AI: I'll add the Cluster Autoscaler to automatically adjust node count based on demand...

Tips for Better Results

Prompting Tips

Be specific - Include instance sizes, regions, naming conventions
Reference existing code - "Add a security group to the EC2 in main.tf"
Ask follow-ups - "Now add CloudWatch alarms for that RDS"
Include constraints - Compliance requirements, budget limits

Code Editor

Monaco-based editor (same as VS Code) with full Terraform support.

Features

Syntax Highlighting

HCL, JSON, YAML, Markdown support.

Auto-Complete

Intelligent completion for resource types, attributes, and functions.

minimize-2

Code Folding

Collapse resource blocks to focus on what matters.

Auto-Save

Automatically saves your work after 2s of inactivity.

Create an S3 bucket configured for static website hosting with:
- Bucket name from variable
- index.html as default document
- error.html for 404s
- Public read access via bucket policy
- CloudFront distribution for HTTPS
