DevX Self-Service with Guardrails
Democratize Deployments, Maintain Standards
Give developers and DevOps teams the freedom to deploy infrastructure when and how they need, without sacrificing control. Self-service workflows across GitOps, CLI, and UI enable faster execution, reduce bottlenecks, and eliminate dependency on centralized teams.
At the same time, platform-defined policies for security, cost, compliance, and governance ensure that every deployment operates within clearly defined guardrails. This balance between autonomy and control allows organizations to scale infrastructure operations without increasing risk.
Platform teams define standardized golden paths that embed best practices, approved configurations, and compliance requirements into every workflow. Developers simply follow these paths, ensuring consistency across environments while accelerating delivery.
The result is a unified approach to infrastructure where teams move faster, maintain standards, and confidently scale deployments across projects, environments, and departments.

Cost Efficiency and Resource Optimization
Our platform helps organizations optimize their infrastructure costs while maintaining performance. With built-in features like automated resource rightsizing, automated cleanup of unused resources, and cost tracking, you can ensure that you're only using what you need, when you need it. By providing full visibility into resource utilization, teams can identify inefficiencies, prevent overspending, and scale resources according to actual usage. This cost-conscious approach ensures that your infrastructure remains both high-performing and affordable, regardless of the scale or complexity of your operations.
env zero by far is the easiest way for developers to come in and not face a big learning curve of having to understand infrastructure or Terraform, because it really abstracts that way
Accelerate IaC with confidence
Standardize IaC operations
Pave the ‘golden path’ for IaC usage with pre-defined deployment pipelines, reusable templates, and shared variables. Use on-demand ephemeral environments to improve velocity and collaboration, without risk and at minimal cost. Empower teams to deploy rapidly, in sync, and without concerns.
Build flexible IaC pipelines
Use custom flows to integrate tools, define processes, and enforce policies. Utilize deployment workflows to manage multiple environments and resolve complex dependencies swiftly.
Boost velocity and control
Deploy Policy as Code guardrails to help teams move fast without breaking things - reducing bottlenecks and unnecessary back-and-forth. Use auto-drift detection and alerts to stay ahead of emerging issues.
Gain end-to-end IaC visibility
Get a full view of IaC usage across your organization, monitor all IaC-related costs, and quickly access comprehensive audit logs. Easily plug IaC insights into any observability platform (DataDog, Splunk, Grafrana, New Relic, etc.)
Manage roles and responsibilities
Use dynamic RBAC to define specific roles, privileges, and approval flows. Granularly manage access with multi-level project structure and environment-level controls. Have new users onboard with ease using Single Sign On (SSO) through SAML or OIDC.
Use GitOps for ‘self-service as code’
Enable planning and applying changes directly from pull requests using an Atlantis-like flow. Leverage our unique Environment Discovery capability to monitor Git and auto-update environments based on folder structure modifications.
Automate environment lifecycles
Automatically clean up unused resources to optimize efficiency and reduce costs. Enhance security by locking critical infrastructure and protecting it from accidental deletion.

FAQs
What is DevX Self-Service with Guardrails and how does it benefit developers?
DevX Self-Service with Guardrails is a platform that gives developers and DevOps teams the freedom to deploy infrastructure on their own, while maintaining control over security, cost, compliance, and governance. The key benefit is that it speeds up deployment processes by reducing bottlenecks and minimizing dependency on centralized teams. Developers can use GitOps, CLI, or UI to deploy infrastructure, which makes the workflow faster and more efficient. At the same time, platform-defined policies ensure that deployments follow security and compliance standards, creating a balance between autonomy and control.
How can DevX Self-Service reduce DevOps bottlenecks?
DevX Self-Service helps reduce DevOps bottlenecks by allowing developers to deploy infrastructure without waiting for approval from centralized teams. Self-service workflows across different platforms (GitOps, CLI, UI) enable faster execution and reduced delays in deployment. By embedding security and compliance policies directly into workflows, teams don’t have to go back and forth for approvals, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient deployment process that boosts overall productivity.
What are 'golden paths' in DevOps and why are they important?
'Golden paths' refer to standardized deployment paths that platform teams define. These paths embed best practices, approved configurations, and compliance requirements into every workflow, making it easier for developers to deploy infrastructure consistently. Golden paths ensure that all teams follow the same processes and configurations, preventing errors and ensuring that deployments meet security and compliance standards. This increases the efficiency of the entire development process and helps maintain high-quality standards across all environments.
How does the 'Policy as Code' feature work in DevX Self-Service?
The 'Policy as Code' feature in DevX Self-Service helps enforce rules and regulations in an automated and scalable way. Developers can use policy definitions in their code to ensure that all deployments adhere to the organization’s security, compliance, and governance standards. This feature helps reduce the chances of errors and non-compliant infrastructure by automating the enforcement of policies, which allows teams to move faster while minimizing risk. It also includes auto-drift detection to alert teams if infrastructure changes deviate from the defined policies.
What are the benefits of using GitOps for 'self-service as code'?
GitOps allows developers to plan and apply infrastructure changes directly from pull requests, offering a smooth and automated workflow for managing infrastructure as code. Using GitOps for 'self-service as code' ensures that changes are tracked, reviewed, and deployed in a structured and transparent way. This reduces the chances of mistakes and improves collaboration between developers and DevOps teams. The integration of Environment Discovery capability further enhances GitOps by automatically updating environments when there are changes in the folder structure, ensuring consistency across environments.
