# What is Overmind?

Overmind is a powerful tool for real-time impact analysis on Terraform changes. Overmind can **identify the blast radius** and **uncover potential risks** with `overmind terrafrom plan` before they harm your infrastructure, allowing anyone to make changes with confidence. We also track the impacts of the changes you make with `overmind teraform apply`, so that you can be sure that your changes haven't had any unexpected downstream impact.

Overmind is a **tribal knowledge database** that empowers your team to manage infrastructure confidently, even without extensive experience.

25
+
- Newer staff face a steep learning curve, delaying their effectiveness.
26
+
27
+
-**Limited Dependency Visibility**
28
+
29
+
- Tools like Terraform show intended changes but don't reveal underlying dependencies.
30
+
- Difficulty in assessing whether changes will disrupt existing applications.
31
+
-**Complex Outage Troubleshooting**
32
+
33
+
- Pinpointing issues during outages is challenging due to hidden dependencies.
34
+
- Outages often result from intricate, unforeseen relationships rather than simple cause-and-effect.

-
-**☁️ Cloud Complexity:** Terraform tells you what it's going to change, but not whether this change will break everything. Teams need to understand dependencies to properly understand impact.
165
-
-**👨🏫 Onboarding & Productivity:** Due to the reliance on "tribal knowledge", expert staff are stuck doing approvals rather than productive work and newer staff take longer to become productive.
166
-
-**📋 Change Management Process:** IaC and automation mean that changes spend substantially more time in review and approval steps than the change itself actually takes.
167
-
-**🔥 Downtime:** Outages are not caused by simple cause-and-effect relationships. More often than not, downtime is a result of dependencies people didn't know existed.
