Same with Instagram, not sure how many people, but they could all almost fit in a garage together.

Just from a perspective of it explaining what the tool does. I am trying to take an approach like optimizely, but really just doing it off my gut feeling mixed with site visit analytics.

To be a little more constructive with my answer. The website needs javascript for our chat service, our newsletter service, our ability for users to purchase licenses for the app, the night/dark mode switch. The codebase also shares components with our desktop app as they are both Vue, but with the desktop app utilizing electron. We will look to make the site be html only at some point, but it is not a focus of our dev team. If you download the app, you will see that it is a first rate experience for managing many AWS services. The app itself probably has about 1,000 man hours or more put into it. Would love to hear insight into how we can make it even more powerful for the community.

yea, it works terrible without a monitor as well. The site does not work headless. what was I thinking? It's a desktop application. The site is where you download the app.

We are starting to solve the command line problem in Commandeer. https://getcommandeer.com/iac-running-suite In the next few weeks we will be rolling out a Bash Runner. This is a preview of the Bash Runner Page - https://imgur.com/Eruzzv7

for anyone on this thread that is interested. I run https://getcommandeer.com which is a tool to manage your AWS and IAC infrastructure from a desktop GUI. I love this bash-my-aws, as we are about to release Bash, Docker Compose, and Terraform Runners. We already have Serverless and Ansible runners. They enable you to run your command line system from a GUI, so that you can instantly switch between AWS accounts/regions and even LocalStack. Because it is a desktop, under the hood we are really running cli tools mixed in with some AWS JS SDK.

ansible and serverless are also very powerful IAC tools that let you deploy on top of CloudFormation but give you a much nicer way to do so. Terraform does require state which is a pain point of it for some. Ansible let's you just run their scripts and you don't have to worry about state in S3 or Dynamo DB.

So, the main app is not opensource. We are in Beta mode, but do plan on having it be paid for, but most likely, free for developers, but a charge for companies to use the teams aspect. The other part we are doing is that we are open sourcing the Terraform, Serverless, and other templates. We have a plan to then enable the usage of them within the app. So you could just apply a serverless template to your environment, and immediately be setup with let's say an SQS queue, tied to a lambda. That repo is located here https://github.com/commandeer/open . Happy to chat more about it, as we are very excited about this and are working day and night on it.

You should give Commandeer https://getcommandeer.com a try. It is a Desktop UI just for this.
