summary
MyHeritage builds a self-service platform that turns high-level CDK-style recipes into OpenTofu via GitOps, embedding IAM, encryption, auditing, and compliance so developers provision S3 buckets, SQS+Lambda links, ECS clusters or Kafka topics with a few lines of code. Opinionated Golden Path families and readymade recipes hide 60+ behind-the-scenes resources per cluster while allowing overrides. After one year the platform powers 100+ projects across 16 teams, thousands of resources, and a 92% developer satisfaction score, claiming to save thousands of DevOps hours.
