Erik is the founder of Cloud Posse and creator of Atmos. With over a decade of experience helping teams adopt Terraform at scale, he is passionate about open-source infrastructure tooling and developer experience.
For the past year, we have been working with platform engineering teams who all share the same frustration: the tools for writing infrastructure code have gotten remarkably good, but the tools for operating that code at scale have not kept pace.
Teams adopt Terraform. They write modules. They set up CI/CD with GitHub Actions. And then, inevitably, they hit the wall — deployments run out of order, state locks conflict, drift accumulates silently, and the team spends more time debugging their automation than building infrastructure.
We built Atmos Pro to solve this problem. Not by replacing your tools, but by making them work together.
Most infrastructure teams already have the right building blocks. Terraform works. GitHub Actions works. Atmos brings structure to how components and stacks are organized. The gap is not in any individual tool — it is in the orchestration layer that ties them together.
When a pull request touches six stacks across three accounts, someone needs to figure out the right order. Someone needs to make sure two engineers are not applying to the same stack simultaneously. Someone needs to notice when a resource drifts from its declared state. Today, that someone is usually a person writing custom scripts, and those scripts become their own maintenance burden.
Atmos Pro is that orchestration layer — implemented as a lightweight GitHub App that plugs into your existing workflow.
Atmos Pro reads your stack dependency graph and dispatches GitHub Actions workflows in the correct sequence. Foundational infrastructure provisions before the services that depend on it. Automatically, every time.
This is not a new concept — it is what every team eventually tries to build with custom workflow logic. We just made it work reliably out of the box.
Concurrent applies to the same stack cause state corruption. Atmos Pro provides advisory locks that coordinate dispatches without blocking your local CLI.
Locks expire automatically with configurable TTL
Force unlock is available when you need to intervene
Your team works confidently knowing deployments will not collide
Configuration drift is the kind of problem that is easy to ignore until it causes an incident. Resources get modified through the console, through other automation, or through manual CLI commands — and your Terraform state silently diverges from reality.
Manual detection on the Free tier for on-demand checks
Unlimited automated detection on Starter and above
Scheduled detection that runs on your defined cadence
Automatic remediation workflows that detect and correct drift without human intervention
Every team gets their own workspace with role-based access — owner, admin, and member roles control who can trigger deployments and manage configuration. You pay for committer seats (the people who trigger deployments), not dashboard viewers, which are always unlimited.
We were deliberate about what Atmos Pro is not. It is not a new platform you need to migrate to. It does not replace your CI system or your IaC tool. It does not require you to change how you write Terraform or structure your repositories.
It is a thin, opinionated layer that sits between your pull requests and your GitHub Actions workflows — handling the coordination that is tedious to build and maintain yourself.
The best infrastructure tooling is the kind your team barely notices. It just makes the things that used to break stop breaking.
We designed pricing around a simple principle: you should never pay based on the size of your infrastructure. Every tier includes unlimited runs, unlimited concurrency, unlimited self-hosted runners, and unlimited resources under management. You pay for committer seats — the people who trigger deployments — not dashboard viewers, which are always unlimited.
There is a generous Free tier to get started, and paid plans that scale with your team. See the full comparison on our pricing page.
The Free tier includes everything you need to see the difference — 3 committer seats, 5 repositories, ordered deployments, deployment locking, and manual drift detection.
