Getting Started with DriftWise

DriftWise is an AI-powered Terraform plan analyzer that provides risk-scored, plain-English summaries of your infrastructure changes.

Quick Start​

Add a step to your Atlantis workflow that converts the plan to JSON and sends it to DriftWise:

atlantis.yaml
workflows:
  default:
    plan:
      steps:
        - init
        - plan
        - run: |
            terraform show -json $PLANFILE > /tmp/dw-plan.json
            curl -sX POST https://app.driftwise.ai/api/v2/orgs/$ORG_ID/analyze \
              -H "x-api-key: $DRIFTWISE_API_KEY" \
              -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
              -d "{\"plan_json\": $(cat /tmp/dw-plan.json | jq -Rs .)}"

DriftWise returns a JSON response with the analysis — Atlantis echoes it as plan output.

What You Get​

  • Risk scoring — Every change classified as None, Low, Medium, High, or Critical
  • Plain-English narratives — No more deciphering raw plan diffs
  • Callouts — Dangerous patterns (public ingress, IAM wildcards, stateful resource replacement) flagged automatically
