Hey everyone! 👋

I was just browsing Helicone's public roadmap on GitHub and I'm really impressed with the transparency and the pace of development. The upcoming features around cost attribution and advanced caching look like game-changers for managing our LLM spend.

However, as someone who lives in Terraform and Ansible, I couldn't help but notice a gap. **Where's the native Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) support?** A first-party Terraform provider or an official Ansible collection would be a massive win for automation enthusiasts like us. Right now, integrating Helicone into a fully automated CI/CD pipeline for an LLM app feels a bit manual.

Here's what I'd love to see on that roadmap:
* **A Terraform Provider:** So I can declare my Helicone configuration alongside my AWS or GCP resources. Imagine managing alerts, users, and provider keys as code.
```hcl
# Pseudo-code of what I dream of
resource "helicone_alert" "cost_alert" {
name = "weekly_budget_breach"
threshold = 100
metric = "cost"
channel = "slack"
}
```
* **Ansible Modules/Roles:** For bootstrapping Helicone in development environments or ensuring configuration consistency across projects.
* **Detailed API spec for OpenAPI generation:** This would make building community tools or even that Terraform provider much easier.

The current API is great, but formal IaC support would solidify Helicone as the *operational* backbone for LLM apps, not just an observability layer. It would make it a no-brainer for teams already automating their cloud infra.

What do you all think? Are there other major operational or automation features you feel are missing from the public roadmap?
