Fortem

Fortem is the control plane for teams managing 10+ AWS ECS Fargate environments. When a platform team hits 10 environments — dev, QA, staging, demo, sandbox — the DIY approach breaks. AWS Console is too dangerous to hand to developers. Terraform provisions infrastructure but doesn't help with day-two operations. CloudWatch shows metrics but not per-environment costs. Nobody knows which environments are still in use and which were spun up for a hackathon six months ago. Fortem replaces this entire stack with one console. Platform engineers see every environment across every account and region — status, services, databases, CI/CD branches, schedule, live cost — in a single view. Try it on your own infrastructure first. Fortem Fleet Audit is a free, downloadable .md skill file that runs in any AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode). It connects to your AWS account with read-only credentials, scans your ECS fleet in 5 minutes, and generates a real fleet report with your actual costs — nothing leaves your machine. No signup required. Environment scheduling stops non-production environments outside business hours and restarts them before the team arrives. Most teams cut dev/staging compute spend by 65–77% in the first month. Scheduling alone eliminates the single largest AWS cost driver for growing teams: idle compute. Environment cloning lets you copy any environment — all 18 services, 4 databases, networking, env vars — to any region in seconds. QA needs a clone of EU production for compliance testing? One click, not a day of Terraform scripting. AI diagnostics read CloudWatch logs when a task fails, check the task definition, verify IAM permissions, and propose a specific fix in under 8 seconds. The engineer approves. Fortem applies it. Developer self-service with RBAC means developers can restart, redeploy, and view logs for environments they own — without accessing production. No more platform engineer as single point of failure for staging ops. Fortem was built by platform engineers who managed 100+ ECS clusters at a regulated fintech. It runs as a SaaS control plane with an enterprise self-hosted option for air-gapped environments. SOC 2 Type II audit in progress. Available on AWS Marketplace — pay via your AWS bill using committed spend. Pricing: Starter $790/mo (up to 20 environments), Scale $2,490/mo (up to 80 environments), Enterprise custom. Per-environment pricing — not per-service. Your microservices stack shouldn't cost 4× more than a monolith.
