Balance speed and control of complex app environments with blueprints

Manual processes for provisioning environments can slow down developers, whether they rely on a centralized team to deliver infrastructure or attempt to deploy it themselves. Torque is the first control plane for managing and scaling diverse, complex infrastructure. Admins build repeatable blueprints that define cloud, virtualized, and containerized infrastructure—along with custom policies and permissions—so developers can deploy pre-configured environments on demand while controlling costs and security.

DevOps teams often struggle to manage, debug, track, and control complex environments based on hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure across a mix of Infrastructure as Code tools, such as Terraform and Helm. Torque automatically discovers and imports existing IaC files into modular blueprints for application environments, so DevOps teams can maintain configurations and track who deploys infrastructure and where infrastructure is running.

If developers are left waiting around for infrastructure, they’ll find workarounds. Most developers rarely push new environments, leading to out-of-sync environments that are difficult to debug. Torque provides ready-to-run, DevOps-approved environments in seconds via an IDE or CLI, making it easy for developers and DevOps teams to stay in sync.

Unnecessary cloud costs are impossible to identify until you receive the cloud bill, and they can be difficult to track down if your cloud instances aren’t tagged consistently. Torque automatically tears down environments after a custom duration, calculates predicted cloud costs for all environments, and automatically tags cloud instances to make cost reporting simple and easy.
