Digger — Build on AWS without having to learn it, no-code DevOps
AWS is hard. Digger makes it simple by automatically generating infrastructure for your code. Deploy containers, webapps and functions in one click. Easier than Heroku and 2-10x cheaper. Customise with Terraform under the hood. Use your AWS free credits!

Congrats on the launch!

That’s looking great! Would have saved us lots of time when we were building our stack. Does it support regions?
@stalpouski Thanks! Yes, each project has a default region, and then within projects you can also configure each environment for its own region. So it's fairly straightforward to build globally distributed fault-tolerant systems with Digger.
This is very cool! When I use AWS every time my thought was why this can't be simple, In fact I had an idea of building simple UI for AWS, will be giving it a shot.
Thanks for building and congrats on the launch 👍
This looks awesome! I'm sharing it with my engineering team and will definitely see if we can use it for our next app
Congrats! I am very excited about this product - saves so much time and makes Cloud much more accessible for teams without significant AWS experience. Well done! 🦾
@turan thank you!! glad it resonates. We believe no startup should be wasting time solving problems that are already solved :)
Very exciting product!
We work a lot with Vercel but still need to have some infrastructure in AWS, until now we've been keeping our own Terraform config for 3 environments, but it's very hard to do preview branches and test the configs locally.
Dreaming of the same simplicity as Vercel but still with the flexibility of all AWS services, and this might just be the product that makes that dream come true!
Have been testing it a bunch recently and it's super promising :)
@happylinks1 Great to hear this! Indeed, Terrafrom is very low-level. One of the reasons we built Digger is actually that while TF is supposed to make things simpler it doesn't - because you still need to think of every single detail. Digger automates that without taking away the flexibility, giving you a Vercel-like experience on top of TF
Hello ProductHunt! Igor here, co-founder of Digger.dev – I am super excited to show it to you all today!
🤯 The complexity of AWS is frustrating. It now has over 200 services, and it takes lots of knowledge and upfront work to just get your apps deployed. The only other option is to use PaaS like Vercel or Heroku. They have great developer experience, but unfortunately only work for small projects. Teams inevitably need some of those 200 services; so they are forced to go with big cloud providers, which is hard.
🚀 Digger fixes that by automatically generating infrastructure for your code, in your AWS account. You can launch in minutes and get a future-proof stack at the same time. No need to build from scratch, or even think of infrastructure at all! But unlike PaaS, there are no limitations on what you can build with Digger – because under the hood it generates Terraform. You can customise it or even use your own templates when time comes.
✅ Easy to use Web UI + powerful CLI
✅ Deploy webapps, serverless functions and databases: just connect GitHub repositories
✅ Multiple environments: replicate your entire stack in a few clicks. Dev / staging / production; short-lived for testing; per-customer
✅ Zero-configuration CI with GitOps: pick a branch for each environment and your services will be deployed on every git push
✅ Logs, environment variables, secrets, domains: never touch AWS again!
🙎The team behind Digger are engineers who previously worked on Amazon Prime Video, Palantir Foundry and Fitbit Group Wellness. Before starting Digger we learned many lessons the hard way from building in-house tools on top of AWS.
👩💻Infrastructure-as-code tools of today have some major shortcomings. Digger introduces a couple of new concepts to address them, like separation of infrastructure interface from configuration. More details here: https://learn.digger.dev/overvie...
@codename_one no you don't need to - it'll pick up your docker images and generate the Terraform for you. You don't even need to think about it. It's only if you have some TF already or want to customise it - then you still can.
@igorzij this looks incredibly promising esp since AWS billing and backend tend to make my head spin..
@gshah2020 thanks!! Excited that you like it. Indeed, AWS isn't built for humans :) It's nothing but "new hardware" and there got to be better tools on top of it!
Digger is the tool I wish I had when I launched my first startup to quickly bootstrap my services on AWS
@thisissubhendu Thank you!! And yes we thought a lot about the "building blogs" analogy, it really does make a lot of sense - combining these "bricks" should not be as hard as it is today. Modular reusable components are already on our roadmap ;)
