Firefly
The Road to Efficient Cloud Asset Management

Businesses’ reliance on cloud platforms is growing exponentially to achieve operational efficiency. Cloud resource management, however, is still a riddle that organizations must solve to prevent service disruptions, improve governance, and increase DevOps efficiency. Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) promises a feasible way forward in this regard, allowing the maintenance of cloud environments with automation. But deploying IaC at scale can be challenging as it requires enormous resources.

Enter Firefly

Firefly’s Cloud Asset Management solution enables DevOps, SREs, and platform engineering teams to control their entire cloud footprint and manage it more efficiently and consistently using IaC. Its solution can determine whether resources are properly codified, generate IaC code automatically, detect and fix drifts, and provide insights for improved CloudOps governance.

“We allow customers to easily adopt the concept of IaC across the entire cloud and control the platforms using it,” says Ido Neeman, co-founder and CEO, Firefly.

The solution discovers missing or misconfigured assets in the cloud to reduce cloud clutter and simplify the complex process of efficient cloud management. Firefly scans cloud assets, creates a unified inventory, and automatically detects and fixes unmanaged, misconfigured, or inefficient resources. This allows teams to gain complete control over their cloud and only scale applications instead of their teams. It also addresses issues associated with change management and configuration management database (CMDB). Most importantly, the company offers a free trial of its solutions to help users better understand and map their problems.

The biggest differentiator for Firefly is its experienced team with comprehensive knowledge of software infrastructure and cybersecurity. Its management and engineering teams have worked for years in the Israeli Intelligence agencies. They understand how cloud governance can affect the security and reliability of cloud-native applications.

“Our team is passionate about helping the world move from cloud 1.0 to cloud 2.0, which is fully managed, controlled, and efficient,” says Neeman.

Firefly’s capabilities can be best highlighted through the success story of AppsFlyer, a SaaS mobile marketing analytics, and attribution platform. They have significant cloud deployments, which engineering teams often find difficult to manage. Using Firefly’s solution, they achieved 84 percent greater engineering efficiency and were able to remediate the issues associated with cloud asset management in an automated way.

In another instance, a large cyber security solutions provider achieved 100 percent visibility into their entire cloud footprint and identified gaps in compliance.

“We act as a safety net for the platform engineering or DevOps team. With Firefly, they gain a comprehensive view of their cloud assets and can be notified and offered automatic remediation of even a minor deviation of assets from the desired state,” says Neeman.

Firefly has truly democratized the concept of IaC to make the cloud environment simpler and easier to manage.
