Overmind

Overmind is a tool that allows you to discover and detect hidden risks in real-time, providing insights similar to a post-mortem without the associated fallout.

Key Concepts and Features

Blast Radius

The extent to which changes in your infrastructure can have adverse effects on other components. Overmind maps all potential dependencies and interactions within your infrastructure to understand what might be affected by any given change.

Risks

Potential issues that could arise from changes in your infrastructure. Overmind helps identify risks that are not easily visible and delivers them directly to pull requests.

Real-Time Dependency Mapping

Overmind maps out dependencies in real-time for AWS and Kubernetes using read-only access. This helps uncover hidden dependencies, even those created by former team members.

Risk Identification

Overmind removes the guesswork by showing only relevant risk information. This allows teams to make informed deployment decisions within minutes.

Change Validation

Overmind calculates the difference of changes in real-time, enabling teams to validate changes quickly and move on without needing to constantly monitor logs or dashboards.

Common Commands

overmind terraform plan

Generates a comprehensive report outlining potential impacts and risks for the planned Terraform changes.

overmind terraform apply -file .overmind/plan.out

Applies the planned changes while considering the calculated risks.
