Repeatable Client Environments, Handed Back as Manifests
The Self-Service Cloud Platform, for IT Consultancies
Every client starts from zero, and the last client’s Terraform does not fit this one.
You stand up environments for clients who mandate a cloud your team may not know, and you hand the work back when the engagement ends.
Planton turns your own cloud account into a self-service platform. AI designs the infrastructure, verifies the cost and permissions before anything is created, and publishes it as templates your whole team can deploy. Your services then ship onto that infrastructure straight from Git.
What Decides It
One Organization per Client
Each client is its own organization, with its own cloud connection, environments, budgets, and record.
Repeatability Is the Product
Publish the environment you built for one client as an Infra Chart and deploy it into the next. A prompt cannot be redeployed; a chart can.
Hand Back Everything
Every module is open source under Apache 2.0. When the engagement ends, the client keeps their manifests and keeps deploying them with the open-source CLI.
The Self-Service Cloud Platform
Describe the client’s environment, verify it, deploy it, and publish it as an Infra Chart. The next client starts from the chart, not from a blank prompt.
Infra Hub: Describe what you need, watch it compose on a live canvas, see the monthly cost and the IAM policy before anything is created, deploy, and publish it as an Infra Chart — a template your team reuses.
Service Hub: Connect a Git repository and every push becomes a running deployment — no pipeline YAML, no Dockerfile required, with results written back into GitHub checks and deployments.

Runs Where You Decide
The client’s account, the client’s keys, the client’s bill. Connections can be keyless, so you never hold a long-lived credential for an account you do not own.
Connections can be keyless: a short-lived, connection-scoped identity token is minted at the moment of use and exchanged by the cloud for temporary credentials. Nothing is stored, nothing is rotated, and the trust is yours to revoke.
Every infrastructure module is open source under Apache 2.0. If you leave, you take your manifests and keep deploying them with the open-source CLI.
The same manifests and the same model run on all three shapes, so nothing is redone when a person becomes a team.

The Rest of the Story
The chapters that matter next, each with the page that tells it in full.
Verified Before It Exists
The monthly cost with its coverage stated, before the client’s infrastructure exists. The estimate is the conversation with the client, not the invoice.
Verified Before Deploy →Every Deployment Leaves a Record
Every change in every client organization is a stack job you can hand over: what was deployed, what it cost, who approved it.
The Record →Services Ship from Git
Connect the client’s repositories and every push is built and deployed through the environments you declared.
Service Hub →You Will Ask
The client mandated a cloud my team has not worked in. Can we deliver?
One of the people quoted below did exactly that: the client mandated GCP, the engineer had no GCP experience, and the consultancy delivered the whole environment. The catalog is 700+ component kinds across 8 providers, each a typed schema over a tested module.
Catalog →What does the client keep when we leave?
Everything. Their manifests, their state in their own backend, and the open-source CLI that deploys the same modules. It was their cloud account and their keys from the first day.
Your Cloud, Your Keys →What does this cost us per client?
Teams pay per seat, and below the self-serve ceiling a card is all it takes. The hosted free tier is free for up to 3 seats with no card. Every number is on the pricing page, read from the same file the platform enforces.

Rohit Reddy Gopu
CEO
“For one client project where the client mandated GCP but our DevOps engineer had no GCP experience, Planton allowed us to successfully deliver the entire infrastructure. We essentially got full DevOps capabilities for GCP without needing GCP expertise on our team.”
Balaji Borra
DevOps Engineer
“Planton has dramatically improved my efficiency. I no longer have to deal with the grunt work of rewriting Terraform configurations between client projects. I can now manage multiple client environments simultaneously and provide a much better experience for all the developers I support.”

Ship without an ops hire: push to deploy, the monthly cost before it exists, free to start, and nothing redone when you become a team.
How Planton Fits Your Work →Planton for Platform Engineers
Self-service your developers and their coding agents cannot break: rules written once, cost and permissions verified before anything exists, a record of every deploy.
