YOUR FACTORY, YOUR WAY

Choose the parts.
Own the whole.

A software factory connects planning, implementation, validation, and deployment into a repeatable workflow. For each stage, you should choose the tools and standards that work for your team.

At Fabrica, we use our own tools alongside third-party tools we like, including Firstmate.

THE PERSON BEHIND FABRICA

Hi, I’m Josh.

Josh Padnick
Encinitas, California

LinkedIn

Before Fabrica, I co-founded Gruntwork, which we bootstrapped to over $5 million in annual recurring revenue. Gruntwork is the company behind Terragrunt and Terratest, and one of the founding companies of OpenTofu.

Overall, I love building useful software and great companies. I’ve built multiple open source tools like Runbooks and Terratest, and launched several commercial products.

With Fabrica, I’m bringing that experience to how teams build software with AI agents.

Interested in building Fabrica with me?

I’m open to co-founders!
