Use Cases

Ready-to-run environments in seconds via your IDE or CLI

Stay in the flow by getting the environments you need while working in your favorite IDE or anytime via CLI, so you can keep building, testing, and delivering incredible code. You only need to use one simple command to get an environment you can actually use, quickly – all without context switching, without having to sift through a bunch of different configs, and without having a bunch of conversations for stuff you don’t really care about and just slow you down.

Because you want to keep the code flowing, we’re always ready to spin up ready-to-run environments at your command, in seconds, whenever and wherever you are in your workflow.

Automatically synched, automatically deployed test environments

Build and deliver working code today instead of diagnosing and debugging problems that have already been solved, but you just couldn’t have known that yet, you’ve been busy. Too often this is simply because it just takes way too long to get the environment you need, and even if the delivered environment itself is solid (which you can’t always count on), it’s too often already out of date!

So you don’t have to think about this, we automatically keep environments in synch with your source control, CI/CD pipeline activities and cloud services, so you are always working with the latest and greatest.

Automatically spin up and share preview environments with every pull request

Keep everyone up to date with progress, automatically, instead of having to burn a bunch of cycles putting together update summaries, attending even more meetings, or otherwise waiting for feedback. There’s no way around it, effective collaboration takes work, but we know what makes it so much easier and faster – transparent and immediate access to what’s being built as it’s being built.

To make it easier and faster to get the feedback you need, we automatically spin up and share preview environments (via your collaboration & dev tools) – as you work (with every push) – so your whole team can see what’s happening and what’s not with their own eyes, whenever they want.

Control cloud cost and gain full visibility on the cost of cloud resource

Continuously manage cloud costs and provide the visibility needed for good governance from the beginning, as a natural, automated part of your workflow instead of just reacting to disruptive requests for tedious and time-consuming reports, looking for and shutting down zombie resources.

To make your life easier, we automatically tag everything that we know of, designed our transparent policies (like environment lifespans that only keep environments alive as long as you want them alive) to cover what’s needed and only what’s needed, log everything, and make all of this information available directly, in reports, or dashboards – anytime.

Seamless automation and collaboration of Terraform

Take your Terraform workflow to the next level with Torque. Get out-of-the box collaboration and governance capabilities that enable R&D teams to plan and run environments based on Terraform modules, fully self-serve. Gain full visibility on any resources created with auto-tagging, actions history, and easily create access control rules for consumption policies. 

No need to make your developers be experts in Terraform, manage the state, or even download the CLI. Just on-board any asset to Torque, provide the variables and default inputs for the module, bind to cloud credentials and you’re all set.
