How a Run Works

  1. Trigger — A VCS push or manual action triggers a run
  2. Plan — InfraDots generates a Terraform plan showing proposed changes
  3. Review — IDP Agents analyze the plan for best practices and security
  4. Apply — After approval, changes are applied to your infrastructure
  5. Notify — Integrations send webhooks to external services
