The Sourcegraph Managed Services Platform (MSP) is the standardised tooling and infrastructure for deploying and operating managed Sourcegraph services. MSP takes a service specification and generates Terraform manifests and adjacent resources required to operate a service, aiming to provide a simple, Heroku-like experience to spin up infrastructure for standalone managed services. MSP also has a “runtime” component consisting of Go libraries to get you up and running - see Managed service implementation guide.
MSP core component of Core Services Foundations.
By adopting MSP for your managed service, it will benefit from an expanding set of features and integrations, alignment with infrastructure and security best practices at Sourcegraph, and support from the Core Services team, which owns and maintains the platform.

<aside> ⚠️ Services operated on MSP are not necessarily owned by the Core Services team - the team that built and deployed each services owns the service. The Core Services team offers guidance, support, and ownership of the underlying platform.

Any "managed service" - internal or customer-facing, for testing or for production - can be operated on Managed Services Platform! Today, MSP operates both internal and external services from many teams across Sourcegraph - see the Managed Services infrastructure for a generated listing.
