Manifold 1.0 - Discover, manage and share developer services with your team

I've known most of these guys a long time -- worked with them on GoInstant. This time they've launched Manifold 1.0, and it's awesome to see how far they’ve come since I hunted their beta earlier this year. You can now organize your services into projects and share them with your team. Their command line tool integrates directly into your daily workflow and deployments to manage configuration. They also launched a cool story microsite that walks you through their manifesto: https://story.manifold.co

Hi everyone 👋 So excited to be able to share this release with you all today. For details about all the features we've added since our beta you can check out the release post here: https://blog.manifold.co/say-hel... We'll be around today answering questions, any and all feedback is much appreciated! P.S. If you're a developer service provider, let's chat! (@etcpeter or peter@manifold.co) P.P.S. we also announced our series A today! (https://blog.manifold.co/coming-...)

As a services developer, working to bring your product into a new platform or marketplace is a daunting task. When I heard of Manifold, I was bracing myself for a very rough-around-the-edges experience of working with drastically changing APIs and a too-busy-to-care development and integration team. Instead, what I found was a brilliant group of seasoned developers who had put together a surprisingly robust and well-crafted API even in its alpha stages. The team was indeed busy, but I was impressed and grateful to discover that they took the time to answer my questions and make modifications as necessary to streamline the integration experience. I want to say thanks to the Manifold team and wish you all good luck with your official launch! - 🦈

Looks really cool. How is the billing managed?

Been using Manifold for a while now with my team. One thing we really enjoy about the platform is the team management features which let’s us have multiple developers on the platform. These developers are able to use and share the same resources across our projects thereby helping us synchronize our workflow.

The service provided by Manifold actually makes a Fullstack developer’s story interesting. Just add services (Mail, Logging, Databases, etc) as resources on your Manifold dashboard, grab your credentials and send them to your app as environmental variables. These services are managed right on one platform and helps you keep track of your project stories.

My most interesting feature is how simple it is to integrate cloud services together and use them right in your project without being a DevOps engineer.

Pros:

DevOps just got easier for Fullstack Developers

Cons:

Docs are a work in progress but they're dead simple to get started with

Simplicity that belies the deep technical execution below, a clear value proposition, and a measured pace of company development/growth? Yeah, that's a @jevon business for sure. Congrats on 1.0, excited to this go all the way.

Getting my team on this now. Congrats @jevon (here's their story https://story.manifold.co).

The team functionality to easily share secrets and configuration with your team (by environment) is a great idea and simplifies workflows. No more sending secrets via Slack!

Pros:

Makes live much easier and one less thing to worry about

Cons:

Docs could use a bit more work

Wow, guys! Totally love the idea. Wish you grow huge!

Brilliant Idea. How can we integrate with you and get listed in your marketplace as makers of Developer Tool? (kuoll.com)

@jeffandersen I didn't have an account before but tried reseting the password assuming that I had an account. The toast was like reset email sent to email@email.com . It would be better if it throws some error like "email not found".

Manifold has the ability to simplify and reduce time taken for software development. It is an awesome service I always recommend them.

Pros:

Manifold makes it easy to setup muliple resources and manage settings and billing from a single dashboard

Cons:

More useful services can be added

The future of DevOps! Congrats to the team!

Being able to manage all your development tools from one central place? That's sick! The definition of Full Stack just got bumped up with Manifold. I enjoy using mail, logging and databases via my Manifold dashboard. It has made my life easier!

I just can't wait to tell everyone I know about Manifold. They make getting up and running a snap.

Pros:

Makes DevOps much easier

Cons:

none so far!

I like the concept, but too few services
