System Initiative is set to change DevOps automation. Focusing on real-time simulations, digital twins, and collaborative infrastructure management, System Initiative offers a revolutionary approach to managing complex cloud environments, solving challenges like stack drift, feedback delays, and cumbersome DevOps workflows.

In Episode 92 of Great Things with Great Tech, Adam Jacob, co-founder and CEO of System Initiative, shares insights on his journey from creating Chef to building System Initiative. This groundbreaking platform allows engineers to model infrastructure with high fidelity, enabling real-time simulations, multiplayer collaboration, and safer, faster deployments. Adam explains how digital twins and the “Living Architecture” approach allow engineers to work collaboratively in a game-like environment, eliminating the slow feedback loops associated with traditional Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
