Hosted backend, open-source core

Start with a simple hosted Terraform backend. Grow into smarter coordination later.

KiloLock Cloud gives you a managed Terraform and OpenTofu HTTP backend that works with familiar workflows today. When your state and team get more complicated, the same KiloLock foundation can unlock deeper visibility and finer-grained coordination.

Open Portal Read the README

Cloud should feel easy to adopt, not risky to try: hosted onboarding in minutes, standard HTTP backend compatibility, and a clear path back to the OSS project.

Typical first success path

Create a hosted backend.
Copy the backend config.
Run terraform init.
Run terraform apply.
See state in KiloLock Cloud.

Example backend

terraform {
  backend "http" {
    address        = "https://api.kilolock.cloud/states/ws_x/env_y/app"
    lock_address   = "https://api.kilolock.cloud/states/ws_x/env_y/app/lock"
    unlock_address = "https://api.kilolock.cloud/states/ws_x/env_y/app/lock"
  }
}

Built for people who want something simpler than self-managing S3 + DynamoDB or GCS. Compatible with Terraform and OpenTofu HTTP backend workflows. Backed by the same open-source KiloLock core.

Why Cloud

Sell convenience first, not ideology

KiloLock Cloud is for teams that want a hosted backend now, without giving up the credibility that comes from an OSS foundation and a documented exit path.

Managed from day one

Skip standing up and operating the backend yourself. Get to a working remote state setup quickly and keep your existing Terraform habits.

Designed to stay familiar

The first job is being a reliable hosted HTTP backend. Advanced KiloLock capabilities matter, but they are not required for initial adoption.

Grounded in open source

The Cloud page should not hide the project roots. The OSS repository, README, and technical docs stay part of the product story.

How it works

Adopt the hosted service without betting the farm

The intended first step is intentionally boring: use KiloLock Cloud as a hosted backend with standard Terraform or OpenTofu. That keeps the learning curve low and gives users room to judge the platform based on real usage.

What you get immediately

Hosted backend endpoint
Copy-paste backend config
Workspace and environment organization
Portal access and token management

What grows with you later

Deeper state visibility
Smarter coordination patterns
History and audit-oriented workflows
Optional use of KiloLock-specific tooling

Positioning

What this page should promise

The commercial page should attract people with clarity and speed, not with inflated claims. It should feel trustworthy to solo engineers, small teams, consultants, and early adopters who need a practical hosted backend.

Good promise

Get a hosted Terraform and OpenTofu backend in minutes, with an OSS core and a clear upgrade path.

Bad promise

Replace your whole infrastructure platform on day one with an all-in-one enterprise control plane.

Trust

Hosted product, open-handed posture

KiloLock Cloud is easier to trust when it openly points to the source project, docs, and operational guidance behind it.

Compatibility first

Lead with Terraform and OpenTofu HTTP backend compatibility so users know they are not forced into a custom workflow on day one.

Visibility and docs

Link users to technical docs, architecture, README guidance, and operational notes instead of keeping the product story opaque.

Exit path matters

Make it obvious that users can understand the OSS core, self-host when appropriate, and evaluate the project on technical merit.

Open source

Cloud should point back to the project, not away from it

The commercial page should actively help technical visitors inspect the OSS core. That makes the hosted offer stronger, because it signals confidence rather than lock-in.

GitHub Browse the KiloLock repository See the source, issues, and project structure. README Read the quickstart and product overview Use the README as the primary technical front door. OSS site Open the OSS page Get the marketing-light summary of what KiloLock can and cannot do.

Next step

Use Cloud for the fast path. Use OSS links for confidence.

That combination is the story: hosted convenience without pretending the product is a black box.
