I just don't understand what you mean by the word 'environment', it is far too vague. I assume it only means something very specific for kubernetes and even in there more specifically something managed with your product. If that is the case then I still don't really know why I would need some kind of tool to manage this. Manage how? What exactly is the benefit of this tool managing an environment on kubernetes for me? Reading a bit more carefully it seems you let me specify services and then the tool deploys them all. I think now that I think more about it, it's probably what pulumi does but purely gui based which could theoretically be nice although I don't know why I wouldn't always rather have it all in code form. But it all depends on how nice the ui is I think. The value would be that I can drag and drop mongodb into the scene in your ui and then click "deploy to aws" and it works immediately without having to know anything about aws.

Understood. We'll try to make the benefit more specific.

This is correct. You can drag and drop moduels like mongodb and deploy to your cloud environments with ease. We're also gonna provide templates of well-known tech stacks.

As for infrastructure-as-code - Yes, we are built on Terraform, and IaC sits in your repository. But it's auto-generated, you don't have to spend time on writing scripts. But whenever you need to interact with the code, you can - from your github repo.
