Resourcely released a free tier of its tool for configuring and deploying cloud resources.
Resourcely lets organizations shift left safely while governing their cloud infrastructure using their existing tools. Developers get a simplified experience for configuring Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) while DevOps, SRE and platform teams get to control the critical configuration decisions being made.
“We need to make life easier for developers by giving them fast ways to get their jobs done, with guidance from teams like Infrastructure, FinOps and Security baked in. Developers want to do the right thing, our job is to support them,” said Travis McPeak, co-founder and CEO of Resourcely.
With Resourcely, DevOps, SRE and platform teams build paved roads for developers to create and maintain any cloud service properly, from AWS instances to Okta groups to Snowflake databases. Resourcely makes it easy to configure HashiCorp’s Terraform and OpenTofu at scale, eliminating cloud issues and outages while accelerating developer velocity. It is a configuration platform that abstracts away the complexities of cloud services with Blueprints and Guardrails integrated into existing CI/CD pipelines:
- Blueprints: paved roads to production, managed by platform teams and used by developers. With Blueprints, developers can deploy cloud infrastructure confidently via a guided experience embedded with expertise, capturing the benefits of IaC without the misconfiguration and learning curve that many companies suffer from.
- Guardrails: policies that safeguard your cloud infrastructure, preventing IaC that violates their standards from making it into production. These give DevOps, SRE and platform teams tools to govern their infrastructure without impeding development.
- Integration into existing CI/CD pipelines: Resourcely generates IaC and submits it as a PR, leveraging their existing change management and CI/CD tooling.
With the newly available free tier, companies struggling with infrastructure configuration can get access to both Blueprints and Guardrails. DevOps, SRE and platform teams build on-rails experiences for developers to deploy infrastructure at light speed, enabling self-service cloud resource configuration and saving time while ensuring the stability of their cloud platform.
The free tier includes access to the Knowledge Graph: Resourcely’s proprietary collection of information about cloud services and their properties. With data such as instance size or region options pre-populated and auto-filled, building cloud infrastructure is easier than ever.
