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
@byosko Thanks Ben! We've been on PH once before but this is a big release for us with a lot of new features and tools. As you mention we have added teams and a CLI, and new providers are starting to go live as well!
I'll be around to answer any questions. In the meantime: We believe you and your team should be able to use the best services available, any of which you can add to your application with one click or command, no matter which cloud you choose. We believe in a future without walls.
@byosko Thanks!
Here's a little something to help developers get started on Manifold—$50 in credit, which of course, can be used to purchase any product on the platform!

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-...)
@edsim we start with our list of customer requests, find the ones that have overlap with existing our workflows and use-cases and then prioritize the ones that are most aligned with our vision. :)
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! - 🦈
@johnpwillman based on the feedback in our reviews, our #1 priority is going to be documentation. 😅 We'll also be working on our CLI to improve types of integrations and expand the use-cases we support. We also plan to iterate on our teams features so that we can support more diverse types of organizations.
@mvrekic great question! After each month, we calculate and aggregate your billings based on your usage of services, and send you a single itemized invoice via email. Regardless of how many different types of services you're using, you get one bill and one charge.
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.
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
@eugene_stepnov Hi Eugene! We'll be integrating partners gradually in batches over the next few months, shoot me an email at peter@manifold.co and we can chat further :)
@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".
@leovarmak Thanks for the suggestion. We actually do this on purpose to prohibit the enumeration of email addresses tied to active users.
If you still can't access your account you can reach out to support right from the page and we'll help you through.
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!
