StackStorm

StackStorm is an open-source, event-driven automation platform designed to connect and automate IT infrastructure, DevOps workflows, and security operations. The platform operates on an "if/then" rules engine that can scale from simple conditional logic to complex multi-step workflows. It monitors events across systems and triggers automated actions in response, enabling teams to codify operational knowledge into reusable runbooks. Core use cases include: - Automated Remediation: Acts as Tier 1 support by detecting failures, executing known fixes, and escalating unresolved issues to human operators. - Continuous Deployment: Supports advanced CI/CD pipeline automation beyond standard tools, allowing custom workflow definitions. - ChatOps: Integrates automation with chat platforms to allow teams to trigger and monitor workflows through conversational interfaces. - Automated Security Response: Enables consistent, rapid, and always-on responses to security incidents by automating predefined response procedures. StackStorm connects to existing infrastructure without requiring changes to current processes or tooling. It uses a pack-based integration model to extend functionality across a wide range of third-party services and platforms. The platform is open source and maintained with community support via GitHub and Slack forums. It is backed by a set of commercial partners who provide ongoing development and support contributions. Netflix used StackStorm as the underlying engine for "Winston," an event-driven diagnostic and remediation platform for executing runbooks at scale.
