"Balancing control, cost, and scalability is key when deciding between building or buying IaC automation tools. This guide explores the challenges of managing IaC in-house and how a dedicated platform can streamline workflows and reduce overhead..."

In this guide we cover:

  • The key factors to weigh when deciding between building in-house or adopting a pre-built solution, including cost, time-to-value, and maintenance.
  • Why general CI/CD tools often fall short when managing IaC at scale, introducing challenges like code drift, access control gaps, and rising complexity.
  • How a dedicated platform like env0 helps overcome these limitations with automation, governance, and visibility tools.

What’s inside:

  • Build vs. Buy Comparison: Weigh costs, scalability, and feature sets to find the right approach for your team.
  • Challenges of General Tools: Understand limitations like manual processes, inconsistent workflows, and governance gaps.
  • How env0 Helps: See how a dedicated platform improves automation, governance, and visibility at scale.
