Platform engineering for the agentic AI era

Agents over modules. Intent over syntax. Evidence over audits.

Git-Ape is the implementation of platform engineering for the agentic AI era — natural-language intent in, compliant cloud deployments out, policy enforced end-to-end.

How It Works

From conversation to production in six stages

Describe Your IntentYou

Tell @git-ape what you need in natural language — "Deploy a Python Function App with Storage and App Insights."

Requirements GatheredAgent

The Requirements Gatherer agent validates your subscription, checks naming conflicts, and confirms resource details.

Architecture DesignedAgent

The Principal Architect agent evaluates against all 5 WAF pillars and recommends the optimal topology.

Template GeneratedAgent

ARM template is generated with security best practices, managed identities, and least-privilege RBAC baked in.

Security Gate PassedGate

Every Critical and High severity check must pass before deployment. No shortcuts — blocked until resolved.

Deployed & VerifiedCI/CD

Resources are deployed via OIDC, integration tests run, and deployment state is committed to your repo.

Key Capabilities

Enterprise-grade features built into every deployment

Security Analysis

Blocking security gate with auto-fix suggestions for every deployment.

Cost Estimation

Real-time cloud pricing API lookups per resource.

WAF Assessment

5-pillar Well-Architected Framework scoring and recommendations.

Policy Compliance

Cloud policy assessment against CIS, NIST, and custom frameworks.

Drift Detection

Detect and reconcile manual changes vs. desired state.

Two Modes

Interactive in VS Code or headless via Copilot Coding Agent.

8 AI Agents

Specialized agents from requirements to deployment validation.

13 Skills

Azure and utility skills invoked automatically by agents.

Module-first vs. Agents + Policy

The shift the manifesto describes — and what it means for your platform team

Module-first platform
Agents + policy (Git-Ape)
Maintain a catalogue of 50+ Bicep / Terraform modules
Ship one agent. Update its context, not 50 modules
Modules pinned to last year’s API surface
Agent reads live Azure REST API specs at generation time
Compliance is a gate teams pass through at PR time
Compliance is inherent — enforced at generation, plan, and runtime
Humans translate intent into ARM / Bicep / HCL
Agent translates intent; humans approve and accept risk
Stale README files describe what modules do
Living documentation generated at conversation time
Drift detected manually, remediated weeks later
Drift detected, fix proposed, approved, applied — continuously
Audit = point-in-time review of IaC files
Audit = immutable execution trace from intent → plan → evidence
