Infra

Infra is open-source authentication and access management for infrastructure. It grants short-lived, identity-based access to Kubernetes clusters, servers, and databases by connecting an organization's OIDC identity providers (Okta, Google, Azure AD, and others) to fine-grained grants on destination resources. Users and groups receive least-privilege roles, access keys are issued for CI/CD and API automation, and the `infra` CLI lets engineers list and switch into destinations. The project was originally added to the API Evangelist network as an 8vc portfolio lead; the hosted service at api.infrahq.com has since wound down (infrahq.com now redirects to the GitHub repository), but the source, OpenAPI spec, CLI, and Go client remain available under the Elastic License 2.0 (core) and MIT (SDK and connectors). Final release: v0.21.0.

Infra publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authentication API, Destinations API, Grants API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Identity, Access Management, Authentication, and Authorization.

Infra’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, CLI, authentication, changelog, and 21 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/infra: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
