What the team is building next per our roadmap specs.
- In Progress
Blast Radius Viewer
Platform Engineers; Site Reliability Engineers (SREs)
Target release: 2025 Q4
Teams need to understand the downstream impact of resource changes or failures before executing Terraform plans. Today Cora visualizes relationships but does not synthesize "blast radius" scope. Users must manually inspect graph edges and infer critical dependencies, which is er…

Cost Overlay & Spend Insights
Platform Engineers; FinOps Analysts
Target release: 2026 Q1
Platform engineers lack cost visibility while inspecting Terraform-managed infrastructure. Today Cora renders topology and compliance information but omits resource- and workspace-level spend. Engineers must context-switch to AWS Cost Explorer or run `infracost` locally to answe…

Drift Detection
Platform Engineers; Site Reliability Engineers (SREs)
Target release: 2026 Q1
Infrastructure teams need proactive alerts when live AWS resources diverge from Terraform state. Currently Cora visualizes state snapshots but lacks automated comparisons against the live cloud, forcing manual audits and increasing outage risk.

Infracost-Powered Cost Component
Platform Engineers; FinOps Analysts
Target release: 2026 Q1
Cora visualizes Terraform-managed infrastructure but offers no insight into ongoing cloud spend. Platform engineers need fast answers to questions like "Which workspace costs the most?" and "What does this resource cost per month?" Without native cost context, they must pivot to…

Export & Embed Terraform Graphs
Platform Engineers; Cloud Architects
Target release: 2025 Q4
Platform and infrastructure teams frequently need to share Cora's Terraform topology insights with stakeholders who do not log into the product every day. Today users rely on screenshots to capture graph state for architecture reviews, incident postmortems, and documentation in…

Module Layout View
Platform Engineers; Site Reliability Engineers (SREs)
Target release: 2025 Q4
Platform engineers rely on Terraform module boundaries to reason about ownership and deployment blast radius. Cora offers networking-, workspace-, and resource-type layouts, but none visualize the Terraform module hierarchy. Users have to map resources back to module addresses m…

Onboarding Dashboard Experience
Platform Administrators; Platform Engineers; Compliance Managers
Target release: 2025 Q4
The current post-login experience drops every authenticated user directly into the resource graph view. New and infrequent users lack context or quick paths to reach the workspace they care about, leading to confusion and drop-off during the first session. Admins managing multip…

Public Blog Launch
Platform Engineers; Security Engineers; Compliance Managers
Target release: 2025 Q4
Prospective Terraform users struggle to understand how Cora streamlines infrastructure management. We lack an evergreen, SEO-friendly surface to share product education, customer stories, and Terraform news. Competitors capture search demand with authoritative content hubs, limi…
