Power in simplicity with StackForms
Give your users controlled access to your DevOps automation and reduce tickets by up to 70% in Cycloid’s self-service portal.
What is StackForms?
Take this typical use case: a developer wants to configure a new environment, but choosing variables and knowing permissions requires specialist knowledge - and often the help of your DevOps team. This slows down deployment and draws your team’s focus away from what’s important.
StackForms is a self-service portal that acts as the glue between your workloads, ensuring your services work end-to-end. Here’s an example: Cycloid deploys your compute and storage workloads where the end-user selects a landing zone, either through Cycloid asset inventory or using your cloud provider API. Additionally, it provides cost estimation, giving users visibility into the financial impact of their infrastructure choices. Infrastructure made easy and cost-effective!
