Exosphere is built on top of industrial-strength open-source technologies and makes them work well together based on shared configuration:
- Git for source code management
- Docker for containerization. Exosphere automatically dockerizes all code bases and runs them inside Docker.
- Docker Compose for booting up all application services at once. Exosphere adds a few missing features on top of Docker Compose, like improved startup orders and restarting services on filesystem changes.
- Boilr for code generation of new services
- Terraform for infrastructure-as-code based deployment. Exosphere generates Terraform code based on application information, gives the users a chance to fine-tune it, and guides them through the process of standing up development, staging, production, and other environments using it.
