About us

We built SuperPlane because nobody should own 47 YAML files.

SuperPlane is a small SF team of engineers who spent years inside platform teams watching smart people waste weeks debugging CI config instead of building product.

Darko Fabijan, CEO and Co-Founder of SuperPlane
Founding story

The pipeline that broke on a Monday morning.

Darko Fabijan spent years in platform engineering before starting SuperPlane in 2023. The breaking point: a Monday morning incident review where a deploy had failed because of a three-line YAML conflict that nobody caught in code review.

The patch took 12 minutes. The cleanup took three days. And the root cause was that 47 YAML files had been accreting across 6 services over two years, with three different engineers as informal owners and no single source of truth.

SuperPlane is the answer to that specific problem. Not a better YAML editor. Not a dashboard. An AI layer that owns the pipeline decisions so your team doesn't have to.

How we build

3 engineering principles.

01

Own nothing that should be owned by AI.

If a decision can be modeled from data, it shouldn't live in a YAML file. Every time a human manually runs a terraform plan or manually checks Datadog before a deploy, that's a decision that an AI should be making.

02

Every AI decision is auditable.

SuperPlane logs the rationale for every choice it makes. Why did it skip these tests? Why did it roll back? Every answer is in the run log, linkable and exportable. You can always trace, override, or challenge any decision.

03

Fit into the stack, don't replace it.

SuperPlane wraps your existing tools. We never force a migration. Your CI runner stays. Your cloud stays. Your observability stays. We add intelligence between them, not a new platform to manage.
