Digger is an infrastructure-as-code automation tool that generates Terraform and Kubernetes configuration from short commands, letting engineering teams stand up cloud environments without writing the boilerplate themselves. It works through a CLI and GitOps-style workflows that plug into a team's existing repositories, so provisioning and infrastructure code review happen alongside normal pull requests.

Company profile
researched Aug 2026Digger is a developer-tools company focused on infrastructure automation. Its work centres on open-source Terraform automation, delivered through workflows that operate inside a team's existing code repositories so that infrastructure provisioning and review happen as part of ordinary pull requests. Coverage of the company's 2025 seed round described it as a startup building dev tools for open source Terraform automation for the infrastructure industry.
Alongside the core Terraform automation product, the company announced a product referred to in reporting as "Infrabasel," described as an AI DevOps agent that operates via pull requests. Digger's founders have also published material on Amazon Web Services tooling for startups, including a newsletter ("AWS Untangled") and earlier products such as an AWS bootstrap tool, pre-built deployment templates and a UI for connecting an AWS account and deploying a full-stack application.
Founding story
Co-founders Igor Zalutski and Mohamed Habib met at Entrepreneur First, a London accelerator that combines co-founder matching with an accelerator program; the pair completed both parts. Before Entrepreneur First, Habib built infrastructure for Amazon Prime Video and Zalutski worked at Palantir, where an internal platform-as-a-service was built to let developers self-serve deployments into the company's AWS account. Both independently arrived at the view that AWS was too difficult for developers and needed a simplifying product. They teamed up in early September 2020, built an initial prototype in three days, spent several weeks in customer conversations, briefly explored incident response and other SRE use cases, and after about two months returned to the original prototype and launched it, presenting at an Entrepreneur First demo day.
Traction
Public evidence of traction is limited. The company reported a successful Product Hunt launch of its AWS Bootstrap tool and shipped Digger Templates in August 2022. In June 2025 it raised $3.6M in seed funding led by Initialized Capital with participation from a group of well-known technology founders and executives.

The company said proceeds would fund expanded operations and development, and it announced a new product described as an AI DevOps agent operating via pull requests.

Go-to-market
Distribution has leaned on open source, developer-community channels and integration into existing developer workflows: a Product Hunt launch for its AWS Bootstrap tool, a founder-written newsletter (AWS Untangled) offering AWS tips for startups, and free AWS office-hours sessions.
Engineering, DevOps and platform teams managing cloud infrastructure, including startups using AWS; the founders offered free "AWS office hours" to other startups.
