In their own words
Firefly
Firefly automates cloud infrastructure with Infrastructure-as-Code and helps teams govern environments and recover from outages or cyberattacks. Its tooling provides IaC orchestration, GitOps guardrails, self-service provisioning, and automated IaC generation. Firefly scans cloud environments to build an inventory and identify unmanaged resources, drift, and misconfigurations. Immutable IaC snapshots can rebuild complete environments in a clean region or account, or roll them back to a pre-breach or last-known-good state. Integrations include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Jira, and ServiceNow. Its MCP Server connects with compatible tools such as Cursor and Claude for natural-language discovery and codification. Firefly says it scans metadata and configurations without accessing workload data such as S3 contents or VM file systems. It states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and offers more than 600 built-in policies. The 14-day trial has full feature access; Essential starts at $2,499 per month billed annually.
Plural
Plural is an AI tool for infrastructure work, presented for platform and DevOps teams. It can upgrade clusters, resolve incidents, patch vulnerabilities, optimize costs, and execute changes across code, clusters, and cloud. Its project-scoped Workbenches package an AI agent’s prompt, capabilities, tools, and automation triggers for infrastructure operations. Plural says agents can draw on a live semantic graph covering clusters, stacks, services, and changes across an estate. Integrations include Prometheus, Datadog, Loki, Elastic, Tempo, Jaeger, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, and Linear. Cloud tools provide SQL-queryable access to AWS, GCP, and Azure data, including billing and infrastructure services. Changes are submitted as pull requests in existing repositories for human review. Plural says actions are logged, permissions are bounded, tool calls and decisions can be inspected, and changes can be reviewed before confirmation. Sandbox is free for a 14-day platform trial. Pro starts at $450/mo for one cluster, with each additional cluster at $250/mo, and includes a 30-day free trial. Pro uses shared Plural infrastructure; Enterprise offers shared, dedicated, or on-prem hosting.
