Digger β€” Open source infrastructure as code management tool
Featured

β€’
Digger is an Open Source Infrastructure as Code management tool that helps orchestrate IaC such as Terraform & OpenTofu within GitHub Actions. Digger reuses compute used for application code so that you don't overpay for 3rd party managed compute for IaC.

Hello Product hunt - Today we are (re)launching Digger. We have had quite a journey over the last 9 months since the first line of code of the open source IaC management tool was written back in March, and the feedback from PH from our beta launch in May has helped a ton in shaping our roadmap. Let me explain briefly what Digger is - Digger is an orchestrator that helps run Infrastructure code such as Terraform and OpenTofu in GitHub Actions. It does so via helping enable concurrent runs, role based access controls and detection of drift, which are all extremely important for something as critical as production infrastructure. Most tools that help in CI/CD for infrastructure as code do so by duplicating CI functionality, which then requires users to duplicate compute - workers, jobs, etc. The central idea of Digger is that Infrastructure as Code can operate within your own CI systems, like GitHub Actions. This approach means you β€œuse your own compute”, while Digger handles the orchestration aspects, including pull request automation, locking mechanisms, role-based access control, drift detection, remediation, and audit trails. This method cuts additional compute costs significantly and ensures private workers are a standard feature (as compared to being on paid tiers). More importantly, it still allows access to enterprise-grade features like role-based access controls and drift detection through the Digger orchestrator. Do check it out and share your thoughts. We are super hungry for feedback. Feel free to: Book a demo - https://bit.ly/diggerpro Join our Slack - https://bit.ly/diggercommunity For a no pressure walkthrough of the product.

Code management has always been a nightmare for my team πŸš€ Congratulations on the successful launch! What's the pricing plan?

Looks awesome, congrats on the launch and I love that it's open-source! Can't help but be reminded of Dagger, is there any relation, similarity or difference between Digger and Dagger?
Utpal Nadiger πŸ‘‹πŸ“ˆ
Haha yes names are fun. There's no overlap in product functionality though. Dagger is a "dev-kit" for CI/CD pipelines, Digger helps in automating Terraform/OpenTofu deployments within CI/CD systems.

One of the makers here - super excited to launch Digger Pro today! Digger is built upon one simple idea: you shouldn't need 2 ci/cd platforms in your stack. One should be enough! Existing platforms, like Terraform Cloud for example, effectively duplicated it - they run terraform on their servers, with jobs, logs, steps, etc. Digger takes a different approach: it triggers jobs in Github Actions instead, avoiding the duplications. This is: βœ… More secure - because secrets never leave an already high-trust environment of your CI βœ… Much cheaper - you don't need additional compute for private runners With the launch of Digger Pro, we are introducing: πŸ’₯ Dashboard - a convenient UI to manage policies and projects across teams πŸ’₯ Concurrency - Digger can now intelligently schedule jobs in parallel to speed up plans / applies πŸ’₯ OPA policies - check plans and user actions with powerful Open Policy Agent using Rego language πŸ’₯ RBAC - granular control who can do what, seamlessly integrated with GitHub teams

Hey @nadigerutpal, congrats on the launch, I wish you the best of luck! I've been waiting for a product like Digger to be released. Question, I've used Fugue for drift detection in the CI and they have remediation advice. Will that also be on the roadmap?

I'm intrigued by how Digger streamlines Infrastructure as Code management, and I'm excited to see how it will help reduce duplicate compute costs!
Shashank Shekhar
Looks interesting for sure! A great team behind the launch and curious to see where it goes from here!

Loving the idea of using my own compute power for IaC within GitHub Actions. How does Digger handle drift detection, and are there any unique features that set it apart from other orchestration tools?
Jack Bridger
This looks awesome. Started using aws recently and think I'll try it
Alex Gavril
It looks awesome. Congrats Digger team on the launch! πŸ‘
