Insideout
Turn a plain-language infrastructure goal into cost-aware Terraform and keep AWS/GCP resources deployable and operable from Claude Code.
Overview
Insideout is a plugin marketplace for the Operate phase that turns infrastructure goals into estimated-cost Terraform and helps deploy and manage AWS/GCP production stacks from Claude Code.
What is this marketplace?
- Conversational requirements gathering before any IaC is generated
- Cost estimation before you commit to a topology
- Terraform generation for AWS and GCP stacks
- Coverage across VPC, containers (ECS/EKS), RDS, S3, Lambda, and serverless
- Agentic deploy-and-operate workflow from the same plugin (Insideout v1.0.1)
- Marketplace bundles 1 plugin (insideout v1.0.1)
- Plugin category: deployment; license Apache-2.0
- Keyword surface includes terraform, kubernetes, ecs, eks, rds, s3, lambda, vpc
What problem does it solve?
Solo builders stall on VPCs, databases, and Terraform modules when they need production-grade cloud without a dedicated DevOps hire.
Who is it for?
Founders shipping a SaaS or API who need AWS/GCP Terraform and ongoing infra management inside Claude Code.
Skip if: Teams that only need frontend UI work, local-only prototypes with no cloud, or orgs that mandate a separate CI-only Terraform pipeline with no agent involvement.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registering the marketplace, you can iterate on requirements, generate IaC, and drive deploy-and-operate steps with the agent instead of hand-rolling every module.
- Requirement-aligned Terraform for target cloud services
- Cost-oriented infrastructure estimates during design
- Agent-guided deploy and operate steps for live environments

Recommended Marketplaces
Journey fit
The marketplace centers on production cloud lifecycle—provision, deploy, and ongoing management—not one-off app coding. Terraform, VPC, Kubernetes, RDS, and serverless ops map directly to running and maintaining live infrastructure.
How it compares
Agentic IaC marketplace plugin, not a single UI skill or an MCP database connector.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Insideout for?
Solo and indie builders using Claude Code who want to describe cloud goals, get Terraform, and manage AWS/GCP infrastructure without a full platform team.
When should I use Insideout?
Use it when you are planning, deploying, or operating production cloud (VPC, containers, RDS, serverless) and want cost estimates and generated Terraform in the same agent session.
How do I add Insideout to my agent?
Add the luthersystems/Insideout-claude-code Claude Code marketplace, install the Insideout plugin, then follow the marketplace install flow so Claude can invoke the infrastructure workflow.
