Welcome to Firefly Documentation

Welcome to the Firefly Docs, your go-to resource for understanding, configuring, and optimizing Firefly's Automated Cloud Resilience platform.

What is Firefly?

Firefly is the Automated Cloud Resilience platform that helps enterprises instantly recover from outages and cyberattacks using Infrastructure-as-Code.

Firefly's AI agents continuously scan your cloud footprint, maintain a real-time system of record, remediate drift, and keep your infrastructure governed and recovery-ready. When incidents strike, Firefly restores full environments in minutes, helping organizations meet strict RTO requirements and maintain audit-ready evidence for DORA, SOC 2, ISO, and more.

Firefly's platform is built around three core capabilities:

• Automate — Accelerate infrastructure delivery by standardizing IaC workflows through GitOps with built-in guardrails, and empower teams with on-demand self-service provisioning using reusable infrastructure blueprints.

• Govern — Scan your entire cloud and maintain a real-time System of Record with continuous event streaming, full dependency mapping, IaC coverage tracking, drift detection, and AI-powered remediation.

• Recover — Automatically rebuild full environments with all dependencies in minutes. Confidently roll back across regions and accounts with no manual runbooks, and maintain audit-ready evidence for DORA, SOC 2, and ISO compliance across your entire multi-cloud environment.

Who is this Documentation For?

This documentation is designed for engineering, security, and leadership roles across modern cloud organizations:

• Platform Engineers & DevOps Teams — Automate IaC workflows, enable self-service provisioning, and integrate with existing CI/CD pipelines.

• SREs & Reliability Engineers — Implement drift detection, automated remediation, and instant environment recovery to meet RTO targets.

• Security & Compliance Teams — Enforce guardrails and policy packs, ensure clean-region recovery, and maintain continuous audit-ready compliance evidence.

• CCoE & Cloud Leaders — Drive consistent DR policies with auditable, automated resilience across all teams and environments.

• CIO / CTO & Decision Makers — Prove recoverability, minimize outage impact, and operate resilient infrastructure at scale.

Key Capabilities

Firefly addresses the full spectrum of cloud resilience challenges, from daily operations to large-scale incident recovery:

• Cloud Scanning & Discovery — Continuously scan your cloud footprint and maintain a real-time System of Record with full dependency and relationship mapping across all resources.

• IaC Coverage & Codification — Track codified vs. ungoverned resources and automatically convert unmanaged infrastructure into standardized, reusable Terraform or OpenTofu.

• Infrastructure Backup & Disaster Recovery — Capture continuous snapshots with full dependency graphs and restore complete environments into clean regions or accounts in minutes.

• Drift Detection & Remediation — Continuously detect configuration drift between IaC and real cloud state, and remediate using AI agents to keep infrastructure aligned and stable.

• Unified Governance & Compliance — Enforce security, compliance, and cost policies across your entire cloud footprint, with audit-ready evidence for DORA, SOC 2, ISO, and PCI.

• Cost Optimization — Identify and eliminate cloud waste with actionable insights across your entire multi-cloud infrastructure.
