Interactive tools
Work something out
All six run entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere and none of them need you to connect anything — which is the point: the two analyzers read files that name your registries, namespaces and build arguments, and that detail has no reason to leave your machine.
The ecosystem
A curated collection of the most essential tools in the DevOps ecosystem.
Containers & Orchestration
Docker
Build, ship, and run applications in containers. Ideal for packaging microservices and ensuring consistency across dev, staging, and production environments.
Kubernetes
Container orchestration at scale. Use it when you need to manage, scale, and self-heal containerized workloads across clusters.
Podman
Daemonless container engine, Docker-compatible. A great choice for rootless container workflows and environments where running a daemon is undesirable.
Helm
Package manager for Kubernetes. Simplifies deploying complex applications by bundling manifests into reusable, versioned charts.
How to choose: Docker vs Podman: Docker has broader ecosystem, Podman is daemonless and rootless by default.
CI/CD
GitHub Actions
Native CI/CD for GitHub repositories. Best for teams already on GitHub who want zero-config pipeline integration with their repos.
Jenkins
The most widely adopted open-source automation server. Choose Jenkins when you need maximum plugin flexibility and self-hosted control over your pipelines.
GitLab CI
Integrated CI/CD with GitLab. Works best when your source code, issues, and pipelines all live under one GitLab roof.
ArgoCD
Declarative GitOps continuous delivery for Kubernetes. Use it to keep your cluster state in sync with a Git repository automatically.
How to choose: GitHub Actions vs Jenkins: Actions is simpler for GitHub repos, Jenkins is more flexible for complex pipelines.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform
Multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning. Use it to declaratively define and version your cloud resources across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Ansible
Agentless configuration management and automation. Great for server provisioning and app deployment when you want push-based, SSH-driven workflows.
Pulumi
IaC using real programming languages. Choose Pulumi if you prefer writing infrastructure in TypeScript, Python, or Go instead of DSLs.
How to choose: Terraform vs Pulumi: Terraform uses HCL, Pulumi uses general-purpose languages.
Monitoring & Observability
Prometheus
Metrics collection and alerting. The go-to choice for pull-based metrics in cloud-native environments, especially Kubernetes.
Grafana
Visualization and dashboards. Pairs with Prometheus, Loki, and other data sources to create rich, real-time observability dashboards.
Loki
Log aggregation by Grafana Labs. Use it alongside Grafana for cost-effective, label-based log querying without full-text indexing.
Datadog
Cloud-scale monitoring and analytics (commercial). Best for teams that want an all-in-one SaaS platform for metrics, traces, and logs.
How to choose: Prometheus vs Datadog: Prometheus is free and self-hosted, Datadog is managed SaaS.
Security
Trivy
Container and IaC vulnerability scanner. Run it in CI pipelines to catch CVEs in container images and misconfigurations in Terraform files.
Vault
Secrets management by HashiCorp. Use it to centrally store, rotate, and audit access to API keys, passwords, and certificates.
Falco
Runtime security for containers and Kubernetes. Detects anomalous behavior like unexpected syscalls or privilege escalation in real time.
