Overview
Why Anvilmark?
Anvilmark is a developer operations layer built for teams that want the speed of a managed platform without giving up control of their own cloud. It coordinates environments, delivery pipelines, and service configuration while keeping the underlying infrastructure visible.
- A platform experience that runs entirely inside your AWS or GCP account.
- Managed delivery pipelines for development, staging, review, and production.
- Cloud workspaces configured from a concise repository file.
The problem
Software teams have better tools than ever, yet much of their time still disappears into debugging delivery scripts, maintaining internal tooling, and connecting services that were never designed to work together. Valuable engineering effort becomes maintenance work.
The approach
Anvilmark gives platform teams a consistent path from repository to running environment, with far less upkeep. We combine widely adopted infrastructure tools with a service layer that developers can use without waiting on a specialist.
At its core is a compact Infrastructure-as-Code file called anvilmark.yml. It describes the essentials and works alongside established tools:
- Infrastructure configuration such as Pulumi, CDK, or Terraform.
- Delivery workflows including GitHub Actions and Buildkite.
- Container orchestration across managed clusters and task services.
From that configuration, Anvilmark coordinates cloud resources, builds, preview environments, networking, access, and service discovery. Everything remains in your account so your team keeps ownership and can move lower-level controls when needed.
How it works
Service map
Build
Anvilmark creates browser-accessible development workspaces that are configured automatically for your repository.
- Carry project settings and extensions into every fresh environment.
- Replace fragile local-machine setup with short-lived, reproducible workspaces.
- Bring a new contributor to a productive state in minutes rather than days.
Preview and verify
Create production-like branch environments on demand. Every review can include a live, isolated version of the change, built with the same configuration used by the rest of the team.
- Test a colleague’s work without interrupting your own.
- Share one stable review link with product and design partners.
- Reuse your existing CI provider instead of adopting another one.
Release and scale
Provision production-grade environments with managed infrastructure as code, using a single configuration file that describes what the application needs.
- Deploy a release in one step and roll back with the same confidence.
- Open a secure shell to any environment directly from the browser.
- Apply the same operational policy across every service.
Better defaults
Reliability, security, and performance should not depend on each product team rebuilding the same platform decisions. Anvilmark packages proven defaults while leaving room for teams to extend the delivery path when their system genuinely requires it.
Keeps your options open
Your cloud workspaces, review environments, and pipelines live in your own account with simple configuration files. We also support trusted integrations for observability, source control, messaging, and incident response.
If Anvilmark were removed tomorrow, your infrastructure would remain intact and operational. The layer between developers and the cloud stays practical rather than proprietary.
