1

Real-Time Resource Search

Instant fuzzy filtering across thousands of resources by address, resource type, or module path.

2

Action Filter Pills

One-click toggle pills to isolate specific mutations (Create, Update, Delete, Replace, or All).

3

Module Hierarchy Tree

Collapsible nested tree reflecting the exact module hierarchy of your Terraform project.

4

Drag-and-Drop Ingestion Zone

100% local, client-side preflight plan schema validator accepting files up to 50MB with zero network egress.

5

Source Filepath & AST Provenance

CLI workspace mode extracts AST line numbers and source files; standalone browser uploads cleanly structure unmapped resources under 'unknown file'.

The Problem

Cumbersome Plan Loading & Dense Hierarchies

Engineers need to quickly load plans from their local machines without setting up complex servers, leaking sensitive credentials over the internet, or getting lost in massive module structures.

Under the Hood: Engine & Algorithm

Zero-Transmission Client-Side Ingestion & Dual Modes

plan-parse parses Terraform plan JSON entirely in client-side Web Workers—credentials and configurations never leave localhost. It bridges dual ingestion modes: CLI workspace mode (resolving AST line numbers and source files) and Standalone Plan mode (structuring unmapped resources under 'unknown file' while maintaining full blast radius DAG integrity).

Workstation Flow: How to Use

1Drag & Drop plan.json

Drag your exported plan file onto the browser window or use the sidebar dropzone.

2Search & Filter

Type in the search bar or click action pills to quickly filter the tree and canvas.

3Toggle with '[' Key

Collapse the sidebar with '[' whenever you want maximum canvas screen real estate.

Real-World SRE & Platform Scenario

Air-Gapped Infrastructure Verification

A financial institution runs plan-parse on isolated local machines. Engineers verify multi-cloud migration plans without any cloud API egress or security compliance concerns.
