AWS CloudFormation services beside our AWS builds
We have no published CloudFormation build. We have shipped three builds on AWS, and the case studies do not name the provisioning tool, so we say that before we claim more.

When CloudFormation is the right call
Pick AWS CloudFormation when
- Everything you run is on AWS
- You want accounts rebuilt from files
- Your team already writes CloudFormation
Look elsewhere when
- You need a published CloudFormation build to inspect, which we do not have
- You run more than one cloud, where we would look at Terraform
- One small environment that never changes

What buyers ask first
What is AWS CloudFormation?
A service that helps you model and set up your AWS resources, so you spend less time managing them and more on your applications.
Do you have a published CloudFormation build?
No. We say so on the first call and show the nearest work, which is three builds on AWS whose case studies do not name the provisioning tool.
CloudFormation or Terraform?
CloudFormation covers AWS. Terraform covers several clouds. We have no published build on either, and we say which fits on the first call.
Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?
You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
