Open source infrastructure as code management tool
Digger is an Open Source Infrastructure as Code management tool that helps orchestrate IaC such as Terraform & OpenTofu within GitHub Actions. Digger reuses compute used for application code so that you don't overpay for 3rd party managed compute for IaC.
Hello Product hunt - Today we are (re)launching Digger. We have had quite a journey over the last 9 months since the first line of code of the open source IaC management tool was written back in March, and the feedback from PH from our beta launch in May has helped a ton in shaping our roadmap.
Let me explain briefly what Digger is - Digger is an orchestrator that helps run Infrastructure code such as Terraform and OpenTofu in GitHub Actions. It does so via helping enable concurrent runs, role based access controls and detection of drift, which are all extremely important for something as critical as production infrastructure.
Most tools that help in CI/CD for infrastructure as code do so by duplicating CI functionality, which then requires users to duplicate compute - workers, jobs, etc. The central idea of Digger is that Infrastructure as Code can operate within your own CI systems, like GitHub Actions. This approach means you “use your own compute”, while Digger handles the orchestration aspects, including pull request automation, locking mechanisms, role-based access control, drift detection, remediation, and audit trails.
This method cuts additional compute costs significantly and ensures private workers are a standard feature (as compared to being on paid tiers). More importantly, it still allows access to enterprise-grade features like role-based access controls and drift detection through the Digger orchestrator.
Do check it out and share your thoughts. We are super hungry for feedback.

Who hunted Digger?
Digger was hunted by Utpal Nadiger 👋📈. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
