Infrastructure as Code emerged to solve problems with manual infrastructure: no change history, inconsistent environments, no rollback capability, and no audit trails. Suga provides these same guarantees through deployment history and environment forking—without configuration files.

The discipline is identical—versioned, reviewable, auditable changes. The interface differs.

Key Differences

​
No Configuration Files

Traditional IaC defines infrastructure in YAML/HCL/JSON files committed to Git. Suga defines infrastructure visually on the canvas, with every change captured in deployment snapshots. You get the same version control benefits without maintaining configuration syntax.

​
Faster Deployments

ToolTypical Deploy Time
Terraform/Pulumi2-5 minutes
CloudFormation5-15 minutes
SugaUnder 10 seconds
Speed doesn’t compromise discipline. Deployments are still versioned, auditable, and reversible.

​
Visual Architecture

Traditional IaC requires separate architecture diagrams that drift from reality. In Suga, the canvas is the architecture diagram—always accurate, always current.

​
Compliance

Suga’s deployment history satisfies standard compliance requirements:
  • Change Management - Every deployment records author, timestamp, and description
  • Audit Trails - Immutable history showing what changed between deployments
  • Rollback Capability - One-click restore to any previous deployment
  • Reproducibility - Environment forking creates exact infrastructure copies

FAQ

View pending changes in the deployment modal before deploying. For team workflows, deploy to staging first, verify, then deploy to production.
A public API for triggering deployments is planned for a future release.
The compliance requirement is change tracking, not configuration files. Suga’s immutable deployment history provides the required audit trails: who, when, what, why.
