3 years ago, I was a CTO at a late-stage company struggling with slow releases due to insufficient automation and non-standard tooling. Spinning up new environments was a month-long ordeal.
To solve this, my co-founders and I built an in-house "architecture-first" DevOps solution - which eventually became Facets, a comprehensive DevOps automation platform. We got early validation, raised funding, and built one of the largest feature sets in the DevOps space.
But through conversations with companies of all sizes, we realized two key problems:
We had built an overly complex enterprise product without enough user feedback.
Developers, especially from early-stage startups, needed something more self-serve and simple.
So we're taking a new direction with Facets 2.0. The focus is now on quick, clean cloud deployments optimized for early-stage startup developer workflows. When you have limited resources but growing workloads, infrastructure challenges can feel daunting. We want to take that off your plate.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be stripping down our giant platform to create something any developer or DevOps engineer can easily use.
While I don’t have a version ready right now, I want to get your early feedback on the idea and our landing page. https://www.facets.cloud/quick-cloud-deployments
We’ve also opened up slots for our Beta program to get as much user feedback as possible. If you’d like to help us out, let me know and I’ll reach out to you.
Let me know what you think!
