Stateful

What is Stateful?

Stateful redefines DevOps documentation by converting traditional Markdown files stored in Git into interactive notebooks that can be executed, tested, and shared seamlessly. Built on the open-source Runme framework, Stateful integrates with cloud-native tools and enterprise IAM systems to provide secure, discoverable, and collaborative operational workflows. It enables engineering teams to centralize and evolve their knowledge base, improve troubleshooting, and streamline processes such as incident response and environment setup.

Key Features

• Interactive DevOps Notebooks

  Transforms static Markdown docs into runnable notebooks that integrate with cloud consoles and pipelines for hands-on operational workflows.

• Git-Based Documentation Management

  Indexes and launches engineering docs directly from Git repositories, preserving GitOps principles with no vendor lock-in.

• Secure Collaboration and Access Control

  Robust IAM integration with role-based permissions, data encryption, and sensitive information redaction to ensure enterprise-grade security.

• Activity Tracking and Knowledge Retention

  Automatically captures command history, outputs, and metadata from notebook sessions to build a searchable, shareable knowledge base.

• Seamless Integration with Team Tools

  Supports sharing notebooks and commands via Slack and integrates with Backstage for enhanced developer experience.

• Enterprise Ready

  Supports SSO providers like Okta, Active Directory, and Google Workspace, with audit trails and compliance features.

Use Cases

• Incident Response : Quickly locate and execute runbooks during outages to reduce downtime and improve troubleshooting efficiency.
• Operational Knowledge Sharing : Build and maintain a centralized, evolving knowledge base from real operational workflows and past sessions.
• Dev Environment Setup : Streamline environment configuration and onboarding by running documented setup commands directly within notebooks.
• Collaborative Debugging : Enable real-time team collaboration on system issues by sharing runnable notebooks and command histories.
• Compliance and Audit : Maintain transparent, auditable records of operational procedures and changes with encrypted storage and access controls.
