Cloud Platyform

A prototype internal self-service cloud platform built with Pulumi's Automation API.

Visit Website →

Overview

Cloud Platyform is a simple prototype of an internal self-service platform, created to demonstrate the power of the Pulumi Automation API. It provides a web interface where infrastructure services are defined in a Git repository as Pulumi programs. Users can browse these services and, with a few clicks, provision an instance. The backend, powered by the Automation API, handles the creation and management of the underlying infrastructure, hiding the complexity from the end-user.

✨ Key Features

  • Web portal for self-service infrastructure.
  • Service definitions are managed as Pulumi programs in a Git repo.
  • Uses Automation API to programmatically create and manage service instances.
  • Abstracts away infrastructure complexity from developers.

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Lightweight and purpose-built to demonstrate the Automation API.
  • Directly embeds the Pulumi engine for infrastructure management.
  • Simple architecture makes it easy to understand and extend.

Unique Value: Demonstrates a practical and simplified approach to building self-service infrastructure platforms, making the concept more accessible.

🎯 Use Cases (3)

Demonstrating how to build an internal developer platform. Providing a starting point or boilerplate for a custom self-service portal. Enabling developers to provision standardized infrastructure without needing cloud expertise.

✅ Best For

  • The creator built the prototype to prove that the Automation API significantly simplifies the development of internal self-service cloud platforms.

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Production use without significant hardening and added features.
  • Teams that do not need a self-service abstraction layer.

🏆 Alternatives

Backstage.io Custom internal portals

Unlike more complex platforms like Backstage, Cloud Platyform is a minimal example focused purely on the infrastructure provisioning workflow, making it an excellent learning tool for the Automation API.
