What it is

Uses Python to build your own AI SRE agents and automation tools.

What you can make with it

Automations like automated alerting and incident management systems for your infrastructure, using tools like Datadog and Grafana.

How it helps

Opensre simplifies the process of creating custom AI-powered SRE tools, making it easier to identify and fix problems before they become critical.

Real use case example

"A solo developer at a small e-commerce site uses opensre to automate alerting for their website, reducing downtime by 90%. They set up a system to monitor server performance using Datadog, and when an issue is detected, it triggers an incident response automation created with opensre, which notifies the team via Grafana. This allows them to identify and resolve the issue before customers are affected."

If you're new

Beginners can start with opensre once they have a basic understanding of Python and are familiar with automation tools.

If you're senior

Senior engineers and developers will reach for opensre when they need a high degree of customization for their SRE tools and automation workflows.

Common confusion cleared up

Opensre is not a standalone application, but rather a toolkit for building your own custom SRE agents and automation tools, using Python and other development languages.
