FAQ

Does Brunel run my code?

No. Repositories are read as files. Nothing is installed, built or executed.

Where do the prices come from?

From the providers' official catalogs: the AWS Price List API and Scaleway's public catalog, for the Paris region, versioned by month. Every line shows quantity × unit price and the catalog date. See How prices are computed.

Does the AI invent the architecture?

The AI, when used, proposes a blueprint of abstract components with justifications. It never writes prices, service names, SKUs or Terraform: the mapper, pricer, validator and templates do. Without AI, the deterministic architect designs from rules alone.

Which languages and frameworks are supported?

Node.js and Bun, Python, Go, Java and Kotlin, PHP, Ruby and Rust, with their main frameworks, plus Dockerfiles, Compose files and existing infrastructure code. See What Brunel detects.

Which clouds?

AWS and Scaleway, in Paris. Free plans design on AWS; paid plans on both.

Can Brunel read private repositories?

Yes, on Pro and above, with your GitHub sign-in or the Brunel GitHub App. See Repositories and access.

Does Brunel deploy to my cloud account?

Brunel never holds cloud credentials. It can open a pull request with the Terraform and a workflow, and on Enterprise start that workflow in your GitHub Actions. See Deployment.

Is the Terraform production-ready?

It is generated from templates validated in CI with terraform validate, kubeconform and actionlint. Review it like any code change, set the remote state and variables, and apply from CI.

What does the AI see?

Detected facts and short excerpts with secrets redacted, wrapped as untrusted data. Never your full repository, never your tokens.

Can we use our own AI provider?

Yes, on Enterprise. See Your own AI provider.

How do I delete my data?

Platform → Profile and security → Delete account. You can export everything first.
