Ship at AI speed. Without the AI mistakes.

CloudDrove is the platform that pairs AI velocity with senior-engineer review. We automate the 80% of infrastructure work that's routine — and put a named engineer on every production change. Faster delivery. Fewer rollbacks. Auditable.

01 · How it works

AI runs the routine. Senior engineers run the rest.

No autonomous deploys, no ungated AI changes. Every production change carries the name of the senior engineer who reviewed it — that's the audit log.

Automated

What AI handles

80%of infrastructure work

The repetitive, well-specified, low-judgement work — completed in minutes instead of weeks.

  • Terraform scaffolding & refactor
  • Drift detection & remediation
  • CI/CD pipeline generation
  • Cost & security baseline audits
  • Documentation & runbooks
Human gated

What humans gate

20%of every change set

The judgement calls — explicitly gated, explicitly signed by a named senior engineer.

  • Production change reviews
  • Architecture & data-flow decisions
  • Compliance reads (SOC 2 · HIPAA · PCI)
  • Incident command & rollback strategy
  • Reliability ↔ cost trade-offs
02 · Services

Three lanes. Eleven engagements. Senior-led, always.

06 · Voices

Senior engineers describing senior work.

Three quotes from engineering leaders we've shipped with. No marketing testimonials.

★★★★★

"They moved like a senior team that already worked here. The PRs were small, well-argued, and we shipped the migration two quarters early."

RS
R. SinghVP Eng · Fintech
★★★★★

"The AI velocity is real — but it's the human review gate that let us put this into a HIPAA environment without losing sleep."

MJ
M. JosephHead of Platform · Health
★★★★★

"Cost down, deploys up, on-call calm. That's the trifecta you're never supposed to get."
