Torque Information

Make big changes fast, with a few simple commands. Torque is a new kind of open-source framework for development operations. It elevates work from the configuration level of HCL, YAMLs and scripts, to the level of architecture design, powered by code libraries. Built specifically for managing cloud system architectures, Torque is a framework that, when installed in your codebase, helps to implement development operations for your architecture, the way you design it. Instead of making changes to every deployment through static configuration files, you use simple commands that modify your architecture dependency graph. Through installed code libraries that describe the components of your system, Torque turns each new change into concrete configurations across every cloud deployment and development environment. Whenever you need to, install different open-source code libraries, fine tune each implementation to suit your own needs, or write your own from scratch. Unlike static configurations, components are effectively self-aware and self-configurable, meaning your system can be built and deployed to any environment with any required functionality that your installed code libraries support. By installing different code libraries you can: 1. keep your local dev environments, build pipelines and deployments always in sync 2. use branch-based deployments 3. easily switch cloud providers 4. go multi-cloud 5. create hybrid dev environments (local + remote) 6. experiment with new technologies using just a few commands and easily undo changes 7. rely on your architecture dependency graph as a single source of truth to plan and execute changes Because Torque is cloud agnostic, and can be adopted one component at a time, getting started does not require a significant change to your current architecture, preferred tools or development practices.
