That sentence should send a chill down your spine. Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) drift is the silent enemy of stable, predictable systems. It happens when your deployed infrastructure no longer matches the code that is supposed to define it. A tweak in the console, a misapplied change, an automatic update—suddenly the ground shifts. The problem isn’t just technical debt. It’s risk, downtime, and sleepless nights.
Detecting IaC drift is not enough. By the time logs flag it, you have already lost context. You need to see exactly what happened, as it happened. This is where drift detection paired with session replay changes the game.
IaC Drift Detection tracks configuration changes across your systems. It compares actual deployed state with your IaC definition—Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, you name it. The best setups do it continuously, not in occasional audits. But knowing that something drifted is half the story.
Session Replay for infrastructure tells you how it drifted. Every action, every parameter change, every click in a cloud provider console can be reconstructed. You can trace the source of the deviation, attribute it, and prevent it from happening again. Instead of reading a change log and guessing, you watch the precise chain of events and lock down weak points.
