configure8 vs Nullstone

Configure8 is a developer portal for cataloging engineering systems and enabling standards-based self-service. Its catalog organizes applications, services, data pipelines, ML jobs, environments and cloud resources with related information. Engineers can use a no-code interface to run provisioning, maintenance and other day-two actions through existing automations and guardrails. Scorecards assess reliability, security, architecture, development maturity, DORA metrics and other standards using built-in or custom checks.

Listed integrations include GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, AWS Security Hub, Jira, PagerDuty, Datadog, Okta and Microsoft Entra ID. An API can ingest and organize data from other tools. Configure8 states that it holds SOC 2 certification and encrypts cloud customer data in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited catalog users and integrations, subject to data and feature limits. Paid plans start at $19 per user per month billed annually. Enterprise is listed at $22.89 a month, while the plan details also state $22.89 per month per user.

Nullstone is a developer platform for launching and managing applications on cloud providers such as AWS. It can run workloads as containers, serverless apps, static sites, or applications on servers. Preview environments can be created from a pull request or branch and removed after review or testing. Teams provision infrastructure with Terraform modules they can fork, customize, or create from scratch. Nullstone launches infrastructure in customers’ cloud accounts and says it does not access their data; secrets remain in that account in a vault such as AWS Secrets Manager. Its security information lists SOC 2 Type II certification and role-based access controls. Listed integrations include Datadog, NewRelic, SumoLogic, CircleCI, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions. The open-source CLI supports deployments, infrastructure provisioning, data retrieval, and module management on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The Individual plan is free at free; Startup costs $50 a month and includes two users, two environments, and 30 deploys per week. The SaaS service is hosted only and cannot be independently run or installed by customers.
