# Simplify cloud infrastructure without sacrificing control

> Ravion turns IaC into self-service building blocks: developers and AI agents ship without touching Terraform, platform teams keep full control.

  **Ravion is currently in beta.** Ravion is free to use during the beta period. After beta, pricing
  will be similar to [Flightcontrol's pricing](https://www.flightcontrol.dev/pricing).

Ravion lets developers and AI agents provision infrastructure, deploy code, and monitor services in your own cloud account — with deployments, metrics, logs, and alarms attached to the same building blocks, everything in one place.

### For small teams

Ship on day 1 like on a PaaS: create web services, databases, caches, and networking from the [standard library](/module-definitions/standard-library) of production-ready modules — no Terraform to write, no DevOps hire needed. And because it all runs in your own AWS account, there's no platform to outgrow and nothing to migrate off later.

<AskAssistant question="How does Ravion work for a small team without DevOps, and what does it give me over a PaaS like Heroku or Vercel?">

### For platform teams

Ravion is a framework for internal developer platforms. It turns your existing IaC into self-service building blocks: developers and agents create, update, and monitor services without touching Terraform or pinging you, while you keep full control of the underlying modules — fork, replace, or lock down every default module and pipeline. Your IaC, your standards, packaged behind interfaces your developers actually enjoy.

## What you can do

* **[Turn your Terraform into reusable modules](/module-definitions/definition-schema)** with typed inputs, so consuming a VPC or database is filling in a form, not reading HCL
* **[Provision infrastructure](/modules/stack)** with reviewable plans, approval gates, and every resource change tracked over time
* **[Build](/modules/build) and [deploy](/modules/deploy) any app** with blue-green rollouts, instance-level visibility, and one-command rollback
* **[Run CI/CD pipelines](/concepts/pipelines)** securely inside your own VPC — or keep your existing CI and trigger deploys from it
* **[Manage everything as code](/config-as-code/project-config-file)** — environments, modules, and pipelines from declarative files in your repo
* **[Let AI agents self-serve](/start-here)** with a CLI, API, and MCP server built for safe agent workflows
