# How it works

Terraforge is a web-based cloud infrastructure DevOps tool available as a free hosted solution or as an on-premise setup customised to your company.

Through the Terraforge web interface, you can define different environments and configurations, resembling your cloud architecture (production, testing, etc...) and develop infrastructure-as-code using the online code editor.

Once your code is ready, the platform runs Terraform to provision your cloud services and optionally pushes your source code to one of the version control systems Gitlab or Github.
