Product Overview
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.
