Firefly

What Firefly is

Firefly automates cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code and helps teams govern environments and recover from outages or cyberattacks. Its tools include IaC orchestration, GitOps guardrails, self-service provisioning and automated IaC generation. Firefly scans cloud environments to build an inventory and surface unmanaged resources, drift and misconfigurations. For recovery, it can rebuild environments in a clean region or account, or roll them back using immutable IaC snapshots. Documented connections span cloud providers, Kubernetes, code repositories, collaboration tools and incident-management services. Its MCP Server connects with compatible tools such as Cursor and Claude for natural-language cloud discovery and codification. Firefly says it scans cloud metadata and configurations, not workload data such as S3 contents or VM file systems. It also states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and offers more than 600 built-in policies covering frameworks including SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST and DORA. A 14-day trial provides full feature access, unlimited users and cloud accounts, and requires no credit card. Essential costs $2,499 a month when billed annually and supports up to 20,000 assets; Enterprise pricing is custom.
