A Terraform-first Approach to Internal Developer Portals
Mar 14, 2023
IaC for Developers
Create developer self-service actions that interact with IaC. Remove cognitive load and define golden paths. Leverage your IaC infrastructure to empower developer self-service.
Abstract IaC for developers
IaC requires domain knowledge, and contains many elements developers aren’t familiar with, creating unnecessary cognitive load. Build a developer self-service UI over IaC, so developers can apply through the internal developer portal.
Inject the right data to IaC
Once developers fill in the developer self-service form, Port injects the relevant inputs into the IaC file and git commit. It’s that simple.
Workflow Automation to Auto-Terminate
Once TTL expires, workflow automation can tie into the software catalog and run Terraform destroy or any similar action when needed.
