Show HN: Formae now supports Kubernetes, Helm, .tfvars and a public plugin hub
Hi HN! I’m Zach, co-founder / CTO of Platform Engineering Labs.
We’re building formae, an open-source IaC system that stays in sync with real infrastructure instead of relying on manually maintained state and drift detection. We’ve just shipped Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform .tfvars support.
The goal with this release was simple: make it easy to start using formae with infrastructure people already have. formae can now discover existing k8s workloads automatically and the ability to utilize existing Helm charts.
Coming from Terraform / OpenTofu and already have variable definitions everywhere? formae now supports consuming values from existing .tfvars files. You can manage whole k8s clusters - from VMs to workloads - in the same consistent model. Changes made through Terraform, Pulumi, kubectl, or cloud consoles are automatically discovered and synced back into formae.
This release also includes the new public plugin hub, which is now home to our official plugins and, hopefully over time, community-built ones too.

We’d love feedback from anyone working in platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE.
