Runbook vs Runops: What are the differences?
Runbook: Infrastructure Monitoring with Automated Remediation. Runbook is a SaaS application that monitors your servers and performs automated tasks when your monitors fails. Use Runbook to automatically recover from application crashes and unexpected failure without interrupting your service or your well earned sleep!; Runops: A better cloud shell for production apps. Secure access to the Cloud with a single CLI. You run a SQL query and it goes to Runops instead of the database. We get peer reviews in Slack, run it, and remove sensitive data from results.
Runbook and Runops belong to "Remote Server Task Execution" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Runbook are:
- Monitors are used to check the status of your environment. They can be webhooks that call to the Runbook RESTful API, they can be Datadog alerts, they can be ping requests. Or, you can setup our TCP custom port to validate connectivity.
- Reactions are automated tasks that are called when Monitors fail. It can be anything from starting or restarting servers on AWS, Digital Ocean, or elsewhere, to running a custom script or executing a command. You know, all the first things you try when you get a 4am wake-up call
- Integrated with the tools you use today: Heroku, Salt, Rackspace, DigitalOcean, Logentries
On the other hand, Runops provides the following key features:
- One CLI to rule them all
- Painless audit trails
- Reduce reliability risks
