Multy is an open source tool to deploy infrastructure to any cloud and switch at any time. Write your cloud-agnostic configuration once and decide where you want to deploy to, Multy takes care of the rest so everything behaves the same.
Hey everyone 👋
I’m excited to introduce Multy, an open-source tool that enables developers to deploy and switch to any cloud - AWS, Azure and GCP for now.
❓ Why are we building Multy?
We realised that, even when using existing solutions, writing infrastructure code is very different for each cloud provider. This means changing clouds or deploying the same infrastructure in multiple clouds requires rewriting the same thing multiple times. And even though most core resources have the same functionality, developers need to learn a new provider and all its nuances when choosing a new cloud. This is why we built Multy!
⚙️How does Multy work?
Multy is currently available as a Terraform provider. You can write cloud-agnostic code and then just choose which cloud you want to deploy to. Multy will then call the cloud provider APIs on your behalf, so the resources deployed to each cloud behave the same.
Current resources supported on AWS, Azure and GCP:
- Storage 📁- S3, Blob storage, etc
- Virtual Machines 🖥️
- Databases 🗄️
- Kubernetes ☸️ - Clusters and node pools
- Networking 🌐 - Virtual networks, subnets, public ips, nsg, network interfaces, route tables
- Secrets 🔒
Our goal is to expose any configuration that is common across all clouds, but there’s always specific features that are not available in all of them. For example, if you want a very specific AWS CPU for your Virtual Machine or use a region that is only available in GCP. To enable this, we implemented overrides - a way to configure the underlying infrastructure for cloud-specific purposes. You can also mix cloud specific Terraform code alongside Multy, giving you all the flexibility you need when building your applications.

We’re happy to launch Multy on Product Hunt today! 🚀 Join us in building the future of cloud!
Thank you! 🥳

@petrakolesar YES! One of the good things of having a "portable" infrastructure is that you can take advantage of the credit offerings from multiple providers! In fact, we've seen other startups migrate to do just that and we want to make that process much smoother.

Love the open-source approach! Not a fan of other platforms that hide what they’re deploying into your account. Are you looking for contributors?
@vanessa_buchholz We love open-source too! Multy is not a black-box are we are actively building with the community! Join our discord if you want to join the discussion and contribute https://discord.com/invite/rgaKX...

This is awesome! With our small team we've really struggled to serve our customers in more than AWS... we simply don't have the capacity to maintain our solution in both AWS and GCP! Will give it a try!
@danimt Awesome to hear this! That is one of the reasons of why we built Multy! We had a similar experience in a startup we were working on before so thought on how we could make it easier for everyone to build multicloud from the get go... Please let us know how you find it and give us a shout if there's anything you'd like to discuss! Happy to hear your feedback!

This is really cool! We had a similar problem and it took us nearly three months to migrate. I can’t wait to give it a try! I’ll drop some feedback on Discord 😉
@pavel_gertsberg1 Thank you! We've come to realize that it is wide spread issue but at the end many desist from migrating as it is such a painful and difficult process! With Multy we want to help in that process to make it much smoother. Happy to have you on our Discord and to hear any feedback!

Great idea, will save a lot of time and complexity.
Starred on GitHub and congratulations on the launch!
Hey ProductHunt, one of the makers of Multy here!
Really excited to be launching our first product on Product Hunt! It's been a long time coming and looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks.
As someone who has struggled with cloud vendor lock-in in the past, I understand the consequences of not being able to easily move your infrastructure. Costs increase, outages happen, hiring becomes difficult and many other reasons. This is why we started Multy!
