This is exactly what I wanted for our team when I was at AWS. There are so many versions of operations which are just slightly too dangerous to automate, and this provides a path to iteratively building that up. Congratulations!


Preface: My opinions are my own and not my employer’s.

Curious how long ago were you at AWS? For context, I spent the last few years in AWS working on an internal platform service whose entire purpose was to reduce operational toil by helping you codify your operational runbooks and execute them safely and automatically. Atuin Desktop is similar to that service in some sense but that service just offered much more features.


Not OP but was there 15 years (left Dec 2021) and surprised I wasn't aware of this. I was only aware of a few tools that acted like chatbots to automatically gather context or take action from chime/tt/alarms.


When I was at AWS, I built something so I could run things straight from the wiki. Think cloudwatch queries, aws cli commands etc with user inputs but without all the setup of securely getting the right credentials and formatting inputs. I've rebuilt to run stuff straight from GitHub. Here's it invoking a lambda function straight from a github wiki with user input in 4 lines of code: https://speedrun.nobackspacecrew.com/index.html#invoking-an-...


When I was at Amazon (pre covid), Eider could've been used for that.
