# Accegend

*/Startups/Accegend*

## Startup Overview

Modern cloud environments accumulate undocumented infrastructure dependencies that trigger cascading failures during routine deployments. This platform automatically traces and maps every resource connection across active environments, identifying hidden links without relying on outdated state files or manual tagging. It directly resolves broken or circular dependencies, restructuring architectures to ensure stable deployments.

Standard observability tools like Datadog and Dynatrace require extensive manual configuration and only monitor the symptoms of tangled architecture. Human-led architecture reviews consume weeks of engineering time and immediately fall out of date once infrastructure changes. This system operates entirely free of manual setup steps, scanning and restructuring the environment autonomously. It charges exclusively per successful remediation, aligning cost directly with resolved infrastructure debt rather than data ingestion volume.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that maps and resolves undocumented cloud infrastructure dependencies
**Competitors**:

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 14-day staging environment pilot to validate the successful generation and submission of at least 10 automated Terraform pull requests for orphaned endpoints.
- 30-day read-only cloud API integration pilot to prove the platform can map all undocumented infrastructure dependencies instantly with zero manual configuration.
**Target Metrics**:
- Aim: Reduce mean-time-to-resolution for orphaned API endpoints from days to under 15 minutes
- Target: 100 percent automated Terraform pull request generation for mapped infrastructure gaps
- Target: 0 manual tagging steps required for initial cloud state mapping
- Aim: 80 percent reduction in engineering hours spent writing configuration changes compared to traditional observability workflows
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized fintech engineering team: Automatically mapped and generated pull requests for undocumented API endpoints, eliminating weeks of manual infrastructure auditing.
- Enterprise SaaS DevOps department: Replaced manual Terraform updates for multi-cloud dependency gaps with automated PR generation, maintaining deployment velocity without bypassing native CI/CD pipelines.
- Growth-stage startup infrastructure lead: Transitioned legacy cloud environments to managed infrastructure-as-code by leveraging automated dependency mapping directly from cloud provider state files.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Lead DevOps Engineer: Expressing relief that the platform actually writes the Terraform PRs for undocumented links rather than just sending another dashboard alert.
- VP of Engineering: Validating that the usage-based pricing model eliminated risk because they only paid when a legacy cloud link was successfully resolved.
- Cloud Infrastructure Manager: Highlighting how the system respected their existing CI/CD pipelines by submitting code for review instead of applying rogue changes directly to production.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Automated remediation actions accidentally bring down a customer production environment, causing massive liability and catastrophic reputational damage. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Major cloud providers deprecate or restrict the internal APIs and telemetry endpoints required to accurately map undocumented dependencies without manual configuration. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: The pay-per-remediation pricing model creates unpredictable, declining revenue as customer environments stabilize and require fewer fixes over time. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Incumbents like Datadog or Dynatrace bundle automated dependency remediation into their existing enterprise observability platforms as a free feature. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
