Crucible IAP
Self-hosted Infrastructure Automation Platform — run, review, and govern your IaC pipelines on your own infrastructure. No per-resource pricing. No plan output leaving your environment.
View on GitHubCrucible IAP is currently in open beta — deploy it today, give us feedback, and shape what comes next. Commercial licensing and dedicated support tiers are coming soon for teams that need SLAs and enterprise features.
The Problem
Cloud-based IaC platforms are expensive, opaque, and not yours
The major hosted infrastructure automation platforms charge per resource, per run, or per seat — costs that compound fast as your footprint grows. Worse, your plan output, state files, and environment secrets transit their infrastructure, not yours.
Crucible IAP gives you the same automated plan/apply workflows, policy gates, drift detection, and approval queues — running entirely within your own environment, at a cost you actually control.

Features
Everything your IaC pipeline needs
Built by engineers who managed infrastructure at scale and grew tired of paying cloud tax for something they could run themselves.
Multi-Tool Stack Management
Manage OpenTofu, Terraform, Ansible, and Pulumi stacks from a single platform. Define your stack once — branch, root, runner image, and behavior — and let Crucible handle the rest.
Policy-Gated Apply Workflows
Use OPA (Open Policy Agent) to define exactly which plans auto-apply and which require a human review. Policies live in your repo — reviewed in PRs, tested in CI, version-controlled like everything else.
Drift Detection & Remediation
Schedule drift checks on any stack. When your live infrastructure diverges from your declared state, Crucible surfaces it immediately — and can auto-remediate if you want it to.
Complete Audit Trail
Every plan, apply, approval, discard, and destroy is recorded with actor, timestamp, and full context. Meet compliance requirements with tamper-evident logs stored in your own object storage.
Self-Hosted, Your Infrastructure
Deploy on your own hardware or cloud account via Docker Compose. Your plan output, your state files, your secrets — none of it touches a third-party platform. Full control, no per-resource pricing.
Secrets & State Management
Native integrations with AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, Bitwarden, and Vaultwarden for runtime secret injection. S3, GCS, and Azure backends for remote state — including cross-stack state references.

How It Works
From commit to applied — with guardrails
Connect Your Repo
Point Crucible at a Git repository, branch, and working directory. Choose your IaC tool and configure runtime behavior — auto-apply, drift schedule, custom runner image.
Plan on Every Push
Commits trigger a plan automatically. OPA evaluates the result against your policies — low-risk changes apply automatically, significant ones queue for human review.
Review, Approve, Apply
Reviewers see the full plan output before confirming. Every decision is logged. Applied changes stream live to the run view. Drift checks run on your schedule.
Built for every stakeholder
Technical depth for the engineers running it. Clear outcomes for the leaders funding it.
