For teams without DevOps

Production infrastructure, without hiring a platform team first.

You have a product to ship and nobody whose job is Terraform. SysJ gives a small engineering team a production-grade cloud setup it can understand, approve and keep.

Sound familiar

Where it goes wrong today.

The work lands on whoever is nearest

Infrastructure becomes a side job for the most senior engineer, and it competes with the product for their week.

Every tool assumes a specialist

Infrastructure-as-code tools offer raw HCL as the escape hatch. For a team without a Terraform specialist, that is a wall rather than a way out.

Nobody is watching on day two

Clusters get created in a hurry and forgotten. The bill is usually what reminds you, and nobody can say what changed or why.

With SysJ

What changes.

Get started

Ask for what you need in the words you already use.

Describe a development environment, a production cluster or a database. SysJ asks the questions a product engineer can answer and picks sound defaults for the rest.

  • Opinionated defaults for networking, security and scaling
  • Every default explained and changeable
  • Plans against your own AWS, Google Cloud or Azure account
assistant · example

You: We need a staging cluster for the orders API in eu-west-1.

SysJ: Will it serve customer traffic, or only your team? And should it be protected from deletion?

You: Team only. No protection needed.

SysJ: A two-node EKS cluster in a private network, reachable through your VPN. I have drafted the plan for you to review.

Stay in control

Approve a plan you actually understand.

Changes are grouped by what they are for and priced before you confirm. Policy has already refused anything unsafe, so the approval is a real decision rather than a rubber stamp.

  • Plain-language diff with the cost beside it
  • Unsafe configurations refused before approval
  • Production protected from accidental deletion

Keep it

Everything SysJ builds is yours from the first commit.

Terraform lives in your repository and state lives in your bucket. When you do hire a DevOps engineer, they inherit a normal, readable setup instead of a proprietary one.

  • Infrastructure-as-code in your own repository
  • State in your own cloud account
  • Access you can revoke without asking us

ProvisionDescribe infrastructure in plain EnglishSay what you want in a sentence. SysJ asks the few questions that matter, builds a typed resource graph, and renders it to Terraform that plans against your own cloud account.Learn more OperateDrift, health, teardown and historyA team with nobody on call still needs answers on day two. SysJ keeps an inventory of every environment, notices when reality stops matching the plan, explains failed deployments, and tears things down safely when you are done.Learn more CostEstimates on every plan, and budgetsEvery plan carries a cost estimate next to the diff, so an approval is an approval of the bill as well as the change. Budgets per environment warn you before spend runs ahead of what you meant.Learn more
