Hey DEV.to
👋
I’m Edwin, a self-taught Cloud & DevOps Engineer from Lagos, Nigeria.
I built DriftGuard because I kept watching the same thing happen: engineers write perfect Terraform, apply it, and then someone clicks around in the AWS console three weeks later. Security group opened. S3 encryption disabled. RDS made publicly accessible. Nobody knows until something breaks or gets breached.
Driftctl is abandoned. Checkov only scans. Infracost only costs. Nothing combined all three with auto-remediation.
So I built it.
DriftGuard detects drift, scores it against CIS AWS Benchmarks and MITRE ATT&CK, calculates the monthly cost delta, and opens a GitHub PR with the exact Terraform HCL fix — automatically.

No VC funding. No team. Built in Lagos. Brutal feedback welcome — that’s why I’m here.
