StackStorm VS Nomad

What differentiates this from things like n8n, node red, and stackstorm? (which sort of occupy a zapier replacement, IoT automation, and infra automation niche, respectively)

StackStorm: Event-driven automation\ (17 comments)

StackStorm -- "IFTTT For Ops" I am investigating the different integrations to see if it can help automate some things.

stackstorm.com — Event-driven automation for apps, services and workflows, free without flow, access control, LDAP,...

Very cool! This reminds me of some of the event-driven automation tools like Stackstorm, letting you define triggers/events to subscribe to, and then take actions based on a defined rule set.

Closest in the Python world is Stackstorm (massive overkill for a desktop use-case, Linux only), or Dagster (great for data processing, not designed for admin tasks).

Node-Red or https://stackstorm.com? Stackstorm seems more geared towards infrastructure whereas Node-Red is more geared towards IOT. Stackstorm also has a web UI, just have to install it separately.

I have played with StackStorm a little bit, and it could also do what you describe... but it may or may not be over-engineered for your use-case.

Lob’s core API has been fully migrated to HashiCorp's Nomad, Lob’s Next Generation service platform. This is a major milestone for the Nomad Project, the Platform Team, and Lob Engineering. This migration is the culmination of a year of R&D, months of practice migrating other Lob services, and weeks of work on this particular service. It’s absolutely worth celebrating for the complexity and customer impact.

Most of our API’s migration to Nomad happened in August, but the key feature of autoscaling was not working as expected. This turned out to be a bug in Nomad which James Douglas tracked down. The issue was recently fixed and autoscaling works as expected, completing the migration!

There's also https://pot.pizzamig.dev/ which even has a Nomad(https://www.nomadproject.io/) driver in case you want to "orchestrate" the jails(as in deploy many jails at the same time across multiple servers)

The check stanza runs a health check on the service Since the service is registered to Consul, the health check runs on Consul. The above health check is configured to run every 10 seconds, and is given 5 seconds for the health check query to succeed. Health checks in Nomad are similar to Kubernetes health checks.

Not sure if it fits here, and might be a little more complex than what you’re looking for, but Nomad is definitely worth a look.

I'd like to also mention hashicorp nomad + consul. They're worth evaluating.

We had a hard time finding this data when experimenting with carbon aware scheduling in Nomad. There seem to be a lot of orgs working on this, but it’s all third party as far as I know. I couldn’t find a first party (eg Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc) that provided this data via an API. Very frustrating.

There are a couple resources linked here: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/h-carbon-meta/CARBON...

The silver lining is that the folks who are working in this space are extremely friendly and passionate in my experience. Don’t be scared to “contact sales for an API let.” The few folks I talked to were extremely helpful.
