Brainboard's Story

Both technical profiles with 20+ years of combined expertise and after working together at a major French cloud provider, Chafik and Jeremy launched Brainboard in 2020 ‍ Brainboard's vision is to create an ecosystem for all cloud teams to work on their infrastructure.

The first version of Brainboard was launched on Hacker News on the 25th December 2020. Users were able to auto-generate a Terraform code from Diagram design.

Following a pre-seed fundraising led by Kima Ventures, Evolem and Angel Investors, we are conquering the US market thanks to Y Combinator!

On our 1st year anniversary, the 25th of December 2021, we launched a second feature, available to ALL users for free: Auto-generate a Terraform Diagram from a .tf file!

Technology

Technical challenges

At Brainboard, we created a complete Cloud infrastructure designer in the browser (think it likes the Figma for the Cloud). Our challenges are: Live collaboration, Bi-directional (from design to code and from code to design) in real time, break the communication barrier between infra teams and developers and abstract the complexity of IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code).

Frontend stack

We built our own graphical engine based on React + vanilla JS (no d3, only pure JS and math using SVGs). Isn't one of the highest frontend developer challenges?

Backend stack

On the backend side, we mainly use Golang as we use Terraform, Docker, .... It's a combination of REST API, websockets, docker orchestration to read, write and transform Terraform code into actionable diagrams.

Whatever frontend or backend, you have the freedom to contributes to any stack you want.
