Drift and governance visibility

Catch when live infrastructure drifts away from the architecture you think you have.

Drift Detector is built for teams that need governance without guesswork. It helps expose infrastructure drift, compare environments, and create a remediation conversation while the architecture model is still available as context.

Drift Detector

Environment comparison

See the gap between intended system design and real deployed infrastructure.

Governance-friendly workflow

Use the same product surface for architecture, drift review, and remediation planning.

Cross-environment visibility

Track AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and IaC-backed infrastructure changes in context.

How it works

The workflow behind Drift Detector.

Each step exists to reduce time-to-clarity for technical teams without forcing them into a separate diagramming or documentation toolchain.

Step 1

Connect infrastructure context

Bring in the environments and IaC sources that represent the deployed system.

Step 2

Review the drift

Inspect the gaps between architecture intent and environment reality.

Step 3

Plan remediation

Use the findings to prioritize fixes, governance changes, or codification work.
