Firefly is the Cloud Resilience platform that helps enterprises recover from cyberattacks, outages, and AI agents' errors. By using Infrastructure-as-Code, Firefly restores complete environments, including every resource and dependency, into a clean region or account, getting your business up and running in minutes, not weeks. Firefly continuously exposes resilience risk across your cloud environment and strengthens your recovery readiness before an incident happens, helping organizations meet strict RTO requirements and maintain audit-ready evidence of recoverability for DORA, SOC 2, ISO, and more. Firefly's platform is built around three stages of cloud resilience: * **Strengthen** — Score recovery readiness with Cloud Resilience Posture Management (CRPM) and validate RTO in advance, so recovery is verified rather than assumed. Firefly scans your entire cloud into a real-time System of Record, turns every resource into deployable IaC, and remediates drift and policy violations so nothing broken reaches the recovered environment. * **Recover** — Scope a backup from a single resource and Firefly discovers all of its dependencies, so nothing is missing at recovery time. Rebuild the complete environment into a clean region or account in minutes, using IaC deployment through your own GitOps workflow with built-in guardrails. Roll back to any pre-breach or last-known-good state with immutable IaC snapshots that ransomware can't encrypt. * **Prove** — Get audit-ready evidence of recoverability, with every recovery action logged. Show continuous compliance with SLA and RTO requirements, and meet DORA, NIS2, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and PCI-DSS with evidence ready the moment an auditor asks. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.firefly.ai/introduction/what-is-firefly.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
