Resources

Overview

Resources allow you to add things like databases, cloud storage, and task queues to your application by simply importing them in your code. They unify managing infrastructure in your cloud account and using it in your code.

To create infrastructure, import the LaunchFlow resource, use it in your code, and run lf create on the command line. Then,

• Make updates to the its configuration by updating the object in your code and running lf create again
• Use utility methods or the underlying cloud clients to interface with it
• Delete it by running the lf destroy command
