About infraplz.dev

A no-BS AI tool directory for platform engineers. Curated by someone who actually runs this stuff in production.

Who curates this

infraplz.dev is maintained by a Principal Platform Engineer with 8+ years running database and caching infrastructure at scale — Aurora MySQL/PostgreSQL, MongoDB Atlas, ElastiCache/Valkey. At a major job search platform, I managed over 1,100 MySQL instances across multiple regions. I've been on call for infrastructure that serves millions of users, and I've learned the hard way which tools earn their keep and which ones add toil.

I'm a platform engineer evaluating tools, not a VC portfolio or analyst firm. I don't do "Top 10" listicles, I don't take vendor briefings, and I don't use AI to generate reviews. Every tool listed here is something I'd actually recommend to a colleague on my team.

How tools are curated

→ Must be AI-native or meaningfully AI-enhanced — not AI-washed

→ Must target platform engineers, SREs, or DevOps practitioners

→ Must be actively maintained — 12-month activity window

→ Compliance badges are verified against vendor trust pages only — not inherited from parent platforms or inferred from marketing

What this isn't

× Not a paid placement directory. Zero tools pay to be listed.

× Not affiliated with any of the listed vendors.

× Not comprehensive by design — quality over quantity.
