DriftLatch
DriftLatch is a hosted Terraform drift detection tool for small platform teams: it connects to an AWS account in five minutes, scans daily, and turns every mismatch between Terraform state and real infrastructure into a plain-English Slack alert plus a ready-to-merge pull request with the fix.
The problem
Small platform teams have no affordable way to continuously detect when live cloud infrastructure drifts from Terraform state: the free option (driftctl) has been unmaintained since 2023, self-hosted free alternatives require running and wiring their own container, and the hosted alternatives (env0, Firefly, HCP Terraform) start at 349 to 1,500 dollars a month or require migrating into a new run pipeline.
The wedge
A five-minute, read-only-role connect with no run-pipeline migration, that turns every detected drift into an auto-generated GitHub pull request containing the actual Terraform fix, not just an alert, priced flat from 79 dollars a month, entering through a free no-signup local CLI scan.
We haven't built this one yet
