Blueprints are a structured layer encapsulating Infrastructure as Code (IaC), providing templates that detail a Project's configuration.

Teams can use Zeet's Blueprints to streamline their deployment workflow and iterate exponentially faster.

Zeet offers an array of official Blueprints OOB, including but not limited to, Blueprints for Helm Charts, Terraform Modules, Serverless Applications, Container Applications, and Docker Images. You can find all available Blueprints on the Zeet Marketplace.

Infrastructure vs Project: If you are looking to deploy some infrastructure such as Datadog, Traefik, or AWS ELB, you want to use IAC Blueprints such as Helm Charts, Kubernetes Manifests, and Terraform. You can also use the Docker Image Blueprint to deploy container services.
