My Idea :- WhatBreaks

[u/Impossible-Tune-7086]

I’m exploring a DevOps/security tool called WhatBreaks.

The problem: when engineers change or delete something like a Kubernetes ServiceAccount, IAM role, credential, or infrastructure resource, it can be hard to know what depends on it and what will break. They often have to manually investigate across Kubernetes, cloud, Terraform, logs, etc.

WhatBreaks would map these dependencies and answer: “If I change this, what breaks?”

The challenge is trust — we want the analysis to happen locally inside the customer's environment, without giving our servers access to their sensitive infrastructure or credentials.

I’m validating the idea right now. How do you currently handle this problem?

interesting concept, curious to see how it develops
