Ravion is an American software company that develops a cloud infrastructure automation platform of the same name. The platform combines infrastructure as code (IaC), application deployment, CI/CD pipelines, and observability into a single interface, provisioning resources directly in a customer's own Amazon Web Services account rather than hosting customer workloads itself.[1]
The company was founded in 2021 as Flightcontrol by Brandon Bayer and Mina Abadir, and participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch.[2] On August 6, 2026, the company rebranded to Ravion and launched a new product positioned as a framework for internal developer platforms.[3]
History
[edit]Flightcontrol was co-founded in 2021 by Brandon Bayer, creator of the Blitz.js web framework, and Mina Abadir.[2] The company took part in Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch and is headquartered in Dayton, Ohio.[2] Its initial product was a deployment platform that ran applications in customers' own AWS accounts, offering an alternative to traditional platform-as-a-service providers such as Heroku and Vercel while supporting servers, background workers, static sites, databases, and caches across all AWS regions.[4]
On August 6, 2026, the company announced a rebrand to Ravion alongside the launch of a new product. The new platform broadened the company's scope from application deployment to general infrastructure provisioning, packaging Terraform configurations into reusable modules that developers and AI agents can consume through a web interface, command-line interface, API, and Model Context Protocol server.[5] The company provided a guided migration path for existing Flightcontrol customers.[1]
Product
[edit]Ravion operates as a control plane that automates a customer's cloud account. Infrastructure changes are executed by temporary Amazon EC2 instances running Terraform inside the customer's own account, so application source code and secrets do not pass through Ravion's servers.[5]
The platform includes:
- A standard library of prebuilt infrastructure modules backed by Terraform, covering web services, databases, caches, and networking, which platform teams can customize or replace with their own modules[5]
- CI/CD pipelines that run on ephemeral EC2 instances inside the customer's VPC, with support for triggering deployments from external CI systems[5]
- Deployment automation for Amazon ECS and EC2, with per-instance status, logs, and rollback; Kubernetes support was announced as forthcoming[5]
- Ephemeral preview environments created from environment templates for testing pull requests[5]
- Configuration as code, allowing environments, modules, and pipelines to be managed from declarative files in a repository[1]
As of 2026, the platform supported AWS, with support for Cloudflare, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure announced as planned.[5]
