Planton is the only platform that combines out-of-the-box service deployment (like Vercel/Heroku) + infrastructure automation (like Terraform/Pulumi) + in YOUR cloud account with full control and no vendor lock-in.
Choose your security model. All operations happen in your cloud account.
Zero-Trust Architecture
Open Source Audit
Scoped IAM Permissions
Encrypted Tunnels
OAuth-Based Access
Short-lived tokens, no stored credentials
Trust Relationship
Planton assumes IAM role in your account
Customer-Hosted Runner
All operations execute inside your network
Scoped IAM Permissions (Example)
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ecs:CreateService",
"ecs:UpdateService",
"ecs:DeleteService"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:ecs:*:*:service/planton-*"
}Only resources with planton- prefix. Never full account access.
