What is Coherence?

The Developer Platform You've been Looking For

Coherence is the first Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that gives you total control. Unlike "black-box" developer platforms that are too opiniated about the infra you can deploy, Coherence is powered by CNC, the open-source platform engineering framework, which offers limitless customization. Coherence is a developer platform you can stand up quickly, giving your team a world-class developer experience that will scale as you grow.

  • Infra as Code execution of provision tasks, with RBAC, auditability, and configuration - all integrated into your own cloud provider (AWS/GCP)
  • Automated CI/CD for build and deploy, integrated into your source control provider, e.g. github
  • A developer portal with self-service developer functionality like secrets management, deployment interface, environment mangement, and "day 2" awesomeness like toolboxes and observability built-in

Using Coherence, you get the power of Infrastructure-as-Code, with all the glue scripts taken care of for you. For example, you can:

  • Define your environments using our simple UI in the developer portal
  • Easily create new environments via UI, CLI, or integrations, including production, staging, dev, and ephemeral environments
    • GitHub integration for automatic preview environments
    • Read more about environment types
  • Collaborate with your team securely using environment variables, cloud secrets, RBAC, and automated CI/CD in your own cloud
  • Use as many different cloud accounts for deployment of environments as you'd like, e.g. dev/staging/production with account-level segregation
  • Deploy using built-in reference architectures included with cnc, but retain full freedom to customize as-needed, or even write your own architecture
