Stitch together your cloud environment... with CloudSeam!
CloudSeam is an open-source config-driven serverless state machine (buzzwordy enough?).
Easily respond to events and update your environment.
CloudSeam is an open-source config-driven serverless state machine (buzzwordy enough?).
Easily respond to events and update your environment.
By defining your state machine as YAML config, you can easily version control and maintain your machines.
With the machine running completely serverless, it's easy to maintain and control many distinct environments.
With multiple executor options, you can run almost any type of task. If you find something that can't, it's easy to add!
CloudSeam consists of a pair of Lambda functions and SQS queues. One pair manages the state machines and determines what tasks are required. The other pair satisfies the required tasks.
The machine definition is a simple YAML document that outlines all states, the transitions between, and any required tasks for each state.
To help you get going, we've even created an online editor that validates your machine and helps you know you're meeting the specification.
Any state can require arbitrary tasks to be completed before advancing to the next state. Since the tasks vary by organization and environment, it is up to you to define the tasks.
Currently, you can execute any Terraform script or Lambda function to satisfy a task.
Once everything is deployed, simply start publishing events and let the state machine respond as configured.
Want to see how Virginia Tech is using CloudSeam for their QA environment? Check out the case study below!
CloudSeam was developed internally at Virginia Tech to manage a scalable QA infrastructure. The initial solution was written directly in code and, after it's success, we decided to figure out how to use a similar process for our other environments.
After a few iterations, we landed on a configuration-based approach, which allows the two Lambda functions to be shared for all environments. We then iterated to make it extensible and here we are with CloudSeam!
