Ably announced the Ably Terraform provider.

Developed in partnership with HashiCorp, the new Terraform provider gives access to Ably APIs that make it easier for developers to provision, manage and test real time architectures using infrastructure as code (IaC).

Ably’s Realtime Experience infrastructure powers the table stakes interactive experiences users crave, such as multiplayer, chat, data sync, broadcast and notification. Without managing or provisioning complex infrastructure, the Ably platform enables developers at thousands of companies to easily add these shared and collaborative experiences to applications at Internet scale with unrivaled dependability.

Using the Ably Terraform provider, developers can automate manual and repetitive operations such as creating, configuring or deleting Ably apps; enumerating queues; creating rules; and carrying out other tasks that take a great deal of time. They can also implement multi-tenancy solutions for customers and create and easily replicate configuration-driven environments. Once they create these environments, they can test them using the Ably Control API.

“As more companies deliver realtime applications to meet today’s demand for instant digital experiences, it has become increasingly important to integrate the management of realtime infrastructure into IaC tools,” said Matthew O’Riordan, CEO, Ably. “Our integration with HashiCorp Terraform lets developers provision and manage Ably programmatically, freeing them from slow and cumbersome manual tasks so they can focus on building core functionality programmatically and speed time to market.”
