New Open Source Tool: Gruntwork Runbooks Hello. I recently published a new open source tool, Gruntwork Runbooks that I thought this community might find interesting. Here’s a quick summary of why you might care! The problem Platform engineers are “expertise bottlenecks.” There are too many application engineers who need your expertise, so you can’t give the full level of support that you want. You wind up spending your time: • Teaching infrastructure concepts • Showing app devs what code to write • Checking their environment configuration • Taking actions on their behalf Our approach Capture your expertise in a version-controlled document written in plain old markdown, plus a select group of interactive components. Then give your app devs an open source tool they can use to open and use the document. Gruntwork Runbooks loads individual “runbook files” that: • Render markdown text • Collect user input from dynamically generated web forms • Propagate user-entered values to: ◦ Generate customized files and folders based on templates ◦ Run customized scripts ◦ Run customized “checks” Next steps If the above sounds interesting, you can learn more at https://runbooks.gruntwork.io/. Gruntwork Runbooks is still in beta, so let us know (via GitHub issues or this thread) what you find useful and what you’d like to see added! P.S. My understanding is that this type of post is in line with community standards here, but if that’s not the case, please let me know and I’ll modify it accordingly!
