Terramate Catalyst Beta, AWS Marketplace Availability

Hello team,

We're excited to share our latest updates designed to improve your experience with Terramate. Read on to discover what our team has been working on!

Terramate Catalyst is now in private beta

Since our announcement back in February, we’ve been working hard to bring Terramate Catalyst (formerly named “Terramate Scaffolding”) to market. Today, we’re equally excited and proud to launch the private beta of Terramate Catalyst, which will redefine how developers provision and manage infrastructure.

Terramate Catalyst enables developers and AI Agents to provision, manage, and secure cloud infrastructure in self-service while, at the same time, allowing platform teams to retain full control by centrally defining and enforcing how infrastructure is provisioned using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or OpenTofu.

As of today, most platform teams are providing developers with a catalog of Terraform modules, often called a service catalog. But this approach comes with several challenges:

• Developers still need to learn Terraform/OpenTofu and know about implementation details, such as how to define state backends.
• Developers often struggle with an overwhelming amount of configuration options (aka variables). For example, the well-adapted terraform-aws-eks module exposes 101 input variables.
• Current approaches only partially mitigate the problem by focusing mostly on the initial deployment of infrastructure (day 1) and completely ignoring the need for contentious maintenance, such as provider and module updates.

With Terramate Catalyst, platform engineers can now provide simple-to-use CLI, GUI and prompt-driven workflows via an MCP server, allowing engineers to scaffold and continuously update complex infrastructure without having to know any Infrastructure as Code tools or cloud services in detail, leading to faster deployment cycles and reduced cognitive load.

At the same time, it allows platform teams to retain full control by centrally defining and enforcing how infrastructure is provisioned using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or OpenTofu. The nicest thing about Terramate Catalyst is that it seamlessly integrates with an existing Terraform module catalog, making the onboarding and migration as seamless as possible without requiring any migration effort.

Terramate Catalyst is now in closed beta. To get access, please book a demo with one of our experts.

Streamlined Pull Request Previews

Previews of changes in Pull Requests are one of the most important features in Terramate Cloud, allowing teams to review critical infrastructure changes before deploying them. We have fundamentally redesigned the Pull Request previews feature in Terramate Cloud, which now allows teams to review all changes on a per-stack basis, review CI/CD logs, summarize changes with AI, and even more advanced concepts, such as showing state migrations on a per-stack basis. The new view allows teams to review changes even more efficiently, leading to higher deployment frequency and faster lead time for changes.

AWS Marketplace Availability

Terramate Cloud is now available for purchase on AWS Marketplace. With this availability, AWS customers with existing AWS spend commitments can use their Terramate Cloud purchase against their AWS commitment. The streamlined contractual and legal terms of AWS Marketplace also make for a faster, more straightforward buying process.

We’ve also created our AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights profile to streamline the exchange of security and compliance information, accelerate transactions, and improve the transactional experience while streamlining our sales process.

Better Collaborator Mapping

Collaborators are a key concept in Terramate Cloud, allowing you to assign Alerts, Pull Requests and Deployments to members of your organization. In addition to automatic mapping, we just added the option to manually map your e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Slack, etc. users to the right users in Terramate Cloud. This ensures that events, such as Alerts, are always assigned to the right person and thus ownership can be managed seamlessly, leading to faster response times and improvements in your DORA metrics.

Minor Changes

• We released Terramate CLI v0.14.7, which now supports the latest Terragrunt versions. Terramate will now detect the installed Terragrunt version and set the appropriate internal command-line flags.

As always, we appreciate your feedback and support.
