# formae documentation

> Manage live infrastructure as code with precise, granular changes and minimal blast radius.

formae is an open-source infrastructure-as-code platform that continuously discovers what is actually running, captures changes made outside the tool, and lets engineers extract that live infrastructure as code, modify it, and apply precise changes at any granularity - from a complete rollout to a single property - with minimal blast radius.
