Less Ops More Coding

Stakpak is the Open-source DevOps agent that helps you with securing, deploying, and maintaining production-ready infrastructure.

But what's special about Stakpak?

• Built for operations

• The most secure agent

• It learns from your environment

• Open Source & Written in Rust 🦀

Installation

Installing Stakpak is as easy as running one command

curl -sSL https://stakpak.dev/install.sh | sh

• Press Y to proceed with installation

• Press Y to use Homebrew for installation

Then it will automatically open the browser and check if you are signed in, if not then you will be redirected to sign in/register.

Then you will be redirected to the api key page, and it will be copied automatically and sent to your terminal

No you can close your browser

That's it, we are ready to use Stakpak🥳

Use Cases

Now that we have installed Stakpak, let's take a look at what we can do with it

Containerize Your Apps

Instead of spending hours configuring containers, you can simply ask Stakpak to Dockerize this app and it would automatically:

• Analyze the application structure, language, frameworks, and dependencies

• Choose a secure and minimal base image

• Generate an optimized multi-stage Dockerfile

• Configure Docker Compose for the app and dependent services

• Build Docker images with proper tagging and .dockerignore

• Run containers and verify application startup and migrations

• Perform health checks and endpoint testing

• Clean up unused containers, images, and volumes

• Document environment variables, secrets, and deployment instructions

all of that while you are drinking your coffee

Secure Your IAM

Instead of manually reviewing IAM roles and figuring out which ones give more access than they should, just ask Stakpak, and it will:

• Analyze existing IAM roles and policies

• Flag risky permissions that could expose your environment

• Generate least-privilege policies on the fly

• Create audit scripts and compliance reports

Analyze Your Cloud Cost

Instead of going between billing dashboards and guessing where money is wasted, just ask Stakpak and it will:

• Analyze your cloud usage and spending patterns

• Identify idle, overprovisioned, or unused resources

• Recommend specific actions to reduce costs

Handle Incidents

Instead of going through logs, alerts, and dashboards to try to figure out what's wrong you can just ask Stakpak and it will:

• Quickly identify root causes from your terminal

• Suggest and implement fixes to resolve issues faster

• Monitor logs, metrics, and dependencies in real time

• Document the incident and resolution automatically

Features

Agent Sessions

Review and audit your past agent sessions to understand exactly what your agent did and why.

Each session includes:

• Full conversation history

• Key checkpoints and decisions

• Actions taken and their results

• A clear trail for debugging

• You can view your sessions at stakpak.dev

You can also view the sessions from your terminal by opening stakpak and typing /sessions

Rule Books

Rule Books are how you teach Stakpak agents to follow your way of doing things. Think of them as smart, markdown based SOPs (standard operating procedures), whether it’s how to deploy to production, upgrade infrastructure, or tag resources correctly. Stakpak uses Rule Books to make decisions that align with your team’s standards, not just generic best practices.

There are two types of rule books:

• Official Rule Books They are created by the Stakpak team, and they cover common workflows like Dockerization, infrastructure software upgrades, and cloud deployments. They follow industry best practices and are ready to use out of the box.

• Your Rule Books Your custom Rule Books define how your team works. From deployment procedures to incident response, Stakpak will follow them step-by-step, just like a teammate would

Note:

• You can view and create your rule books at stakpak.dev

• You can disable the official rule books by opening your terminal and writing stakpak --disable-official-rulebooks

Memory Blocks

Memory Blocks are reusable pieces of knowledge that your agent learns during sessions.

As you interact with the agent, it automatically extracts useful information like commands, configs, environment details, or error fixes and stores them as memory blocks for future use.

Each memory block includes:

• A title and tags for easy search and organization

• The content the agent learned (in markdown)

• Metadata like source session and timestamp

You can edit and tag memory blocks to improve how agents recall and apply them in future tasks, making your agent smarter over time.

You can also manually ask the agent to memorize the important information at any moment by typing /memorize and it would automatically extract it from your conversation

Security

Stakpak was built with a security first mindset

Mutual TLS (mTLS)

End-to-end encrypted communication between agent components

Dynamic Secret Redaction

Stakpak agents can interact with secrets like API keys and tokens without ever seeing their actual values. Secrets are redacted at runtime and never exposed in logs or memory.

To disable secret redaction, open your terminal and write stakpak --disable-secret-redaction

Warden

Warden acts as a deterministic policy enforcer for every agent action. It inspects, validates, and blocks any destructive or unauthorized operations before they reach your environment.

To start warden open your terminal and write stakpak warden

Secure Password Generation

Generate cryptographically secure passwords with configurable complexity

Privacy Mode

Redacts sensitive data like IP addresses and AWS account IDs
