Platform Engineering Labs today announced a major update to its open source Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) platform, formae, adding beta support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and OVHcloud. The release also introduces what the company calls a “Platform for Infrastructure Builders” a toolkit designed to make infrastructure tooling easier to extend, customize, and accelerate using AI-assisted development.
The update expands formae’s multi-cloud capabilities and addresses long-standing friction faced by infrastructure operations and platform teams when integrating proprietary APIs or supporting diverse cloud environments. Traditionally, extending IaC tools to accommodate new or legacy technologies requires weeks, or even months, of specialized engineering work. With this release, Platform Engineering Labs aims to reduce that timeline to hours by combining schema-safe architecture with a simplified plugin interface optimized for both human engineers and AI coding agents.
Following its initial launch in October 2025, formae has evolved to meet growing enterprise demand for multi-cloud strategies and digital sovereignty. By adding support for GCP, Azure, OCI, and OVHcloud, the platform now enables teams to manage heterogeneous cloud estates through a unified workflow.
Unlike traditional IaC tools that depend on fragile state files and complex migration processes, formae automatically discovers infrastructure resources and codifies them into a continuously updated source of truth. This approach removes the operational risk often associated with state drift, manual reconciliation, and brittle configurations, while simplifying adoption across multiple providers.
In addition to cloud expansion, Platform Engineering Labs unveiled a redesigned Plugin SDK and plugin interface as part of its new “Platform for Infrastructure Builders.” The toolkit is designed to overcome one of the most persistent challenges in IaC ecosystems: the difficulty of extending platforms to support emerging technologies, proprietary systems, or legacy APIs.
“This release is for and about infrastructure builders,” said Pavlo Baron, co-founder and CEO of Platform Engineering Labs. “We’re expanding support across the major cloud platforms, many of you have been asking for. From here forward, you don’t need to wait on us or anyone else. Build for your own infrastructure. Launch fast. Iterate fast. Extend fast. Do it hands-on or with help from your AI agents. We’ll continue evolving the platform for builders like you.”
According to the company, formae’s architecture explicitly models relationships and behavior across infrastructure resources, making it particularly well-suited for AI-assisted coding. Engineers can use AI agents to generate and modify plugins while relying on the platform’s schema constraints to ensure safe and predictable outcomes.
“We rewrote our plugin interface and so derived our Plugin SDK,” said Zachary Schneider, co-founder and CTO of Platform Engineering Labs. “By making the development process simple and schema-safe, we are opening IaC to rapid customization. Engineers can now use AI agents to quickly produce and modify plugins that are reliable by design. By “eating our own dogfood,” we were able to deliver support for four major clouds with a team of four engineers quickly. Now, you can too.”
The release reinforces Platform Engineering Labs’ mission to eliminate unnecessary operational toil and reduce human error in cloud management. By keeping infrastructure state invisible yet continuously synchronized, and by enforcing schema-safe change management, formae provides a stable and extensible foundation for modern cloud operations.
As organizations evaluate Infrastructure-as-Code solutions, formae enters a market shaped by established platforms such as Terraform, Pulumi, and OpenTofu. While these tools are widely adopted and supported by large ecosystems, they typically rely on external state files, client-side execution models, and provider frameworks that can require significant expertise to extend. formae differentiates itself through automatic infrastructure discovery, continuous codification into a unified source of truth, and an architecture that avoids fragile state management. Rather than depending on manual refresh cycles and state reconciliation, the platform keeps infrastructure representations synchronized and operationally consistent by design.
In addition, formae’s redesigned Plugin SDK and schema-safe architecture aim to simplify extensibility, an area where traditional IaC platforms often require weeks of complex provider development. By modeling explicit relationships and enforcing behavior through guaranteed schemas, formae enables engineers to safely accelerate customization using AI-assisted coding. While Terraform and Pulumi remain strong incumbents with mature ecosystems and broad cloud support, formae positions itself as a next-generation alternative focused on reducing drift, minimizing operational toil, and empowering infrastructure builders to extend tooling rapidly across multi-cloud environments.
formae is available now on GitHub under the FSL license. The project is open for community contributions, with discussions hosted on Discord.
