Stakpak

Stakpak is an open-source DevOps agent that lives on your own machines around the clock, keeping applications healthy and shipping code on autopilot. It watches health checks and infrastructure signals, investigates incidents, applies fixes like restarting services or renewing certificates, and only pings a human when it genuinely needs one. It is an open-source project on GitHub with around 1,800 stars, written in Rust and actively developed in 2026.

Overview

Stakpak pitches the upside of a PaaS without the lock-in: install the single binary, run stakpak init to discover your stack, then stakpak up hands operations to the agent, while an interactive TUI keeps you in control when you want to drive. Safety is a core design point — every network action passes through a transparent proxy governed by Cedar policies, hundreds of secret types are detected and swapped for placeholders before any LLM sees them, and every action is logged with backups for instant rollback. Scheduled jobs cover cost watchdog scans, expiring-secret and certificate defusing, and health auto-healing, with summaries delivered to channels like Slack.

Key Features

• Autonomous 24/7 agent for app health and deployments
• Auto-healing: detects incidents, fixes root causes, reports back
• Cost watchdog finds idle cloud resources and waste
• Policy-guarded actions with secret redaction before LLM calls
• Full audit log, backups and one-step rollback of changes
• Single Rust binary; runs entirely inside your own environment

💳 Pricing

Free. Stakpak’s agent is open source under the Apache-2.0 license and runs on your own machines; you bring your own LLM API access.

Who Is It For

Indie hackers, startups and platform teams who want tireless first-line operations — monitoring, healing and housekeeping — without adopting a hosted PaaS.
