"We are standardizing hosting throughout all cloud providers, giving users more control, lowering switching costs, ending vendor lock-in and democratizing the way content is published to the web"

Lead Developer Torus Hosting

How it Works

Torus Hosting is made up of a multi command line interface and 4 SDK's; Stack, Domains, Content and Init. The CLI facilitates the interaction with the SDKs. The SDKs standardizes the different services among the different cloud providers and domain registrars. You can also build on top of the SDKs without the use of the CLI.

CLI

A multi command line interface made with OCLIF that provides a great developer experience.

Stack SDK

A promise-based javascript SDK that generates and deploys JSON cloudformation templates for static websites in AWS. It uses the AWS SDK to create, and execute changesets in a particular sequence that enables automation of the entire process while maintaining a short deployment time.

Domains SDK

A promise-based javascript SDK for standarizing and managing nameserver and DNS operations accross multiple domain name registrars.

Content SDK

A promise-based javascript SDK for simultaneously updating content in S3 and the cache in Cloudfront.

Config SDK

A promise-based javascript SDK for configuring Torus globally in your machine, or on a per-project basis.

Roadmap

Currently we only support AWS Cloud and Godaddy. Soon we will be adding other major cloud and domain providers to offer you a multi provider experience. You will be able to mix and match the best services from your favorite providers; all under one simple to use tool. To do so, we will be switching from cloudformation to Terraform.

We are adding continuous integration for popular front end frameworks such as React, Gatsby js, Svelte, Vue, Ember and others. You will able to use CicleCI which has a very generous free plan for starters or AWS codebuild for a more robust pay as you use solution.

If you are interested in adding new providers create the feature request here and we will add it to our pipeline; or feel free to submit your own pull request.
