Ably's new Control API allows DevOps engineers working on fast-scaling software architectures to increase their testing capabilities and configure complex production systems quickly and safely, directly from configuration and orchestration tools. The Control API is a REST API that enables programmatic management of Ably’s configuration, allowing users to create, configure, and delete apps, API keys, channel rules/namespaces, queues, and stats. This feature helps save time and avoid potential errors resulting from manual configurations. It also supports driving CI/CD pipelines with Ably apps, ensuring audit trace and easy configuration recovery, and scaling automatically with the needs of a business.
