# Roadmap · ICE by Light Cloud

> Direction, not a ticket tracker. ICE is at v0.1.50 and Apache 2.0. Open an issue or PR to change anything here.

Editions: Community (this repo, single-user). Team (planned, self-hosted, multi-user). Cloud (planned, managed). Multi-user features ship in Team and Cloud.

Source of truth: https://github.com/light-cloud-com/ice/blob/main/ROADMAP.md

## AI

- Live telemetry context (AI Read L3): logs and metrics in the prompt
- Multi-step tool use: plan, read, propose, validate
- Full mutation surface: delete, rename, modify, group
- Proactive suggestions: unused blocks, missing secrets, cost outliers
- Per-provider prompt profiles
- Validated OpenAI-compatible backends (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM)

## Providers

- AWS and Azure deployer parity with GCP
- Alibaba Cloud: design-only to deployable
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
- DigitalOcean: Droplets, App Platform, managed DBs, Spaces
- Tencent Cloud
- Kubernetes (any cluster): Helm and raw manifest outputs

## Blocks

- Networking primitives: VPC, firewall, DNS, load balancer
- Managed K8s: GKE, EKS, AKS
- CI/CD: registries and build services
- Workflow orchestration: Step Functions, Cloud Workflows, Logic Apps
- More data: Aurora, Azure SQL, Spanner, time-series
- Auth and Analytics concepts
- Info panel: "compiles to" with code snippets in 6 languages

## Observability

- Live logs in-canvas (Cloud Logging, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor)
- Per-block metrics sparklines (rate, errors, latency)
- Cost dashboards: projected vs actual, drift alerts
- Alert configuration from the canvas
- Real-time resource health polling

## Security

- Secret rotation UI, expiring-cert warnings, audit log
- Pre-deploy checks: dependency vulns, IAM over-permission, region compliance (EU, HIPAA)
- Supply chain: SBOM, notarised macOS, EV-signed Windows, provenance
- Per-canvas secrets: reference without leaking plaintext
- Electron safeStorage for desktop credentials

## Import / Export / Migration

- UI flow for existing GCP, AWS, Azure, Terraform, Pulumi importers
- Docker Compose to canvas
- Provider-to-provider migration plans
- Export to Terraform HCL, Pulumi TS, AWS CDK, K8s manifests
- Version migration: no canvas loss between releases

## Collaboration and teams

- Real-time canvas editing: presence, cursors, locking (CRDT/OT)
- Comments and mentions
- RBAC UI: editor / viewer / owner, sharing links, audit log
- Team Edition: self-hosted multi-user, invites, OIDC SSO
- Shared team and org template libraries

## Templates

- Missing patterns: serverless API, Jamstack, microservices, event-driven, batch, analytics
- Quick-starts: single function, container+DB, worker+queue, static site
- Per-env overrides in one template
- Industry templates: e-commerce, mobile, IoT, media, multi-tenant SaaS

## Deploy

- CI/CD workflow templates (Cloud Run, Vercel)
- Full AWS and Azure Apply parity

## Frontend

- Design system refresh: unified tokens, proportional sans-serif
- Property help text rendering
- Radix context menus: keyboard and a11y
- Canvas search and export (SVG, PNG, PDF)

## Desktop

- Auto-update via electron-updater
- Signed and notarised builds (.dmg, .exe/.msi, .AppImage/.deb)
- IPC and credential-storage tests

## Long tail

- Marketplace: third-party blocks and templates
- Policy as code: OPA / Rego hard gates
- Project management: duplicate, archive, tags, filters
- In-app learning: tutorial, contextual help, per-concept videos
