Episode idea: Robusta

[aantn]

Hi,
I'm the maintainer of Robusta.dev and would be happy to appear on an episode and discuss Robusta.

We're an open source troubleshooting and automation platform that essentially has three major parts:

1. An events-driven automation engine for Kubernetes. This is like ArgoEvents in some ways, but we're more focused on providing a library of high-level actions. E.g Argo Events lets you run a pod when Kubernetes resources change. Robusta can theoretically do the same, but it's not what we're focused on. Better examples are (1) a builtin automation that adds annotations to grafana graphs showing when Kubernetes deployments were updated and (2) an automation to monitor crashing pods and send notifications + the pod's logs to Slack when it happens

2. A library of automated context-gathering and fixes for common Prometheus alerts. Our goal is to eventually cover every single alert in kube-prometheus-stack and awesome-prometheus-alerts. You can see some examples of this on http://robusta.dev/. These work by running a Robusta action on Prometheus webhooks and then sending the alerts to Slack and other destinations with extra context and "fix-it" buttons added to the alert. The goal here is that you just configure the integration with Alert Manager and we'll automatically identify your alerts and add context.

3. A set of manual troubleshooting tools for Kubernetes. These build on the same automation platform as (1) and (2) but this time the automations are triggered manually by the user. A great example of this are the tools we've added to make debugging and profiling python applications on Kubernetes easier: https://home.robusta.dev/python/

Please let me know if this interests you. I would love to spread the word about what we're doing.

Commercial Disclosure:
I'm founder of the startup that backs Robusta.dev. Everything mentioned above is open source. We also have a cloud platform with other features (not in scope for this podcast episode) like an alternative frontend for Alert Manager that shows alerting history.
