Inspiration

DevOps engineers spend too much time writing Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Terraform, Nginx, and CI/CD files manually. I wanted a faster way to describe infrastructure once and automatically generate production-ready artifacts.

What it does

OpsPilot X is an AI-powered DevOps Domain Specific Language (DSL) compiler.

Users write infrastructure in a simple DSL, validate it, and generate:

• Docker Compose
• Kubernetes manifests
• Terraform
• Nginx configuration
• GitHub Actions CI/CD

The web interface also provides diagnostics, validation, and downloadable generated files.

How I built it

Backend

• Python
• FastAPI
• Custom Lexer
• Recursive Descent Parser
• AST
• Semantic Validator
• Code Generators
• REST API

Frontend

• React
• Vite
• TypeScript

The compiler converts DSL code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), validates it, and generates infrastructure artifacts for multiple platforms.

Challenges

• Designing a custom programming language grammar
• Building a lexer and parser from scratch
• Implementing semantic validation
• Generating multiple infrastructure formats from one source
• Connecting the compiler backend with a modern React frontend

Accomplishments

• Built a working DevOps DSL compiler
• Multi-platform infrastructure generation
• Real-time validation
• Interactive web interface
• Open-source project on GitHub

What I learned

This project helped me understand compiler design, parsing, semantic analysis, infrastructure as code, FastAPI, React, API integration, and software architecture.

What's next

• AI-assisted infrastructure suggestions
• Cloud deployment (AWS/Azure/GCP)
• VS Code extension
• More DevOps resources and generators
• Team collaboration features

Built With

• docker
• fastapi
