Top 23 Go DevOps Projects

  1. Netdata

    The open-source observability platform everyone needs

    Project mention: Best Open Source Monitoring Tools in 2026: 7 Self-Hosted Options Compared | dev.to | 2026-06-13

    Netdata is a real-time infrastructure monitoring agent that collects metrics at per-second granularity with near-zero configuration. Install the agent on a server, and within seconds you have 2,000+ metrics being collected — CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, processes, containers, and hundreds of application-specific collectors. The level of instant visibility is unmatched.

  2. AppSignal

    AppSignal knows why the f*#k it crashed. Stop vibe-debugging. Every exception, every backtrace, grouped so you see patterns, not noise.

  3. act

    Run your GitHub Actions locally 🚀

    Project mention: Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (August 2026) | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-09

    a bold attempt, how does it compare with https://github.com/nektos/act which has been the de-jure project in this space? Act has never been in my opinion super great, but it's also been several years since I've checked in to revisit the project.

  4. Gitea

    Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD

    Project mention: HTB - Busqueda Writeup without Metasploit | dev.to | 2026-10-03
  5. Dokku

    A docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications

    Project mention: Self-hosted PaaS in 2026: Coolify vs Dokku vs CapRover vs Ownkube | dev.to | 2026-09-13

    This post compares the four self-hosted and "self-hosted-style" PaaS options we see startups evaluating most often: Coolify, Dokku, CapRover, and Ownkube. We'll cover what each one is, who it fits, where the ceiling is, and the honest tradeoffs. If you're trying to leave Heroku specifically, our Heroku alternative guide covers the workflow translation in more detail.

  6. argo-cd

    Declarative Continuous Deployment for Kubernetes

    Project mention: Argo CD 3.5: Internal mTLS, Source Integrity, and the New ApplicationSet UI | dev.to | 2026-09-29

    Project mention: Secrets that live in git - encrypted, no Vault, no sidecar | dev.to | 2026-08-11

    The GitOps world already solved this, and the answer is SOPS + age. Here's the shape of it in Orca:

  13. dagger

    Automation engine to build, test and ship any codebase. Runs locally, in CI, or directly in the cloud (by dagger)

    Dagger local CI that uses containers

  14. Task

    A fast, cross-platform build tool inspired by Make, designed for modern workflows.

    Project mention: Devbox: Portable and Isolated Development Environments | dev.to | 2026-09-06

    go-task command runner

  15. semaphore

    Modern UI and powerful API for Ansible, Terraform/OpenTofu/Terragrunt, PowerShell and other DevOps tools.

    Project mention: Scotty: A beautiful SSH task runner | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-31

    I founded and developed a similar concept many years back of a web-based SSH dashboard and management console (Commando.io; which I sold). Now a days I use Semaphore UI [1] which uses Ansible playbooks under the hood in my homelab. Pretty happy with it, though setup and configuration did a bit to get up and running.

  16. infracost

    Cloud cost intelligence for engineers, AI coding agents, and CI/CD 💰📉 Shift FinOps Left!

  17. Encore

    The infrastructure platform for the intelligence era

    Project mention: Why Vercel is still my default for shipping frontend projects | dev.to | 2026-07-13

    Now, for Railway, it's a bit different, and I use it when I need a persistent backend, like maybe a WebSocket server, a background job, or something that can't be serverless. In Scholarian, I have a long-running task where the background worker has to produce a long report using Gemini, and that process generally takes three to four minutes, so I switched the backend of my app to Railway. For Vercel, that's where it genuinely breaks down. If you need a long-running process, you're either doing something hacky with edge functions or you're reaching for a different platform. And there are a couple of good options besides Railway, and for that, Encore would be my personal recommendation.

  18. gatus

    Automated developer-oriented status page with alerting and incident support

    Project mention: Please stop flooding our projects with AI slop to furnish your CV | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-27

    > That's a super weird way of putting it, which makes me hesitate to agree with you.

    Yes that's weird sorry. What i meant is it belongs in the uncanny valley. I don't have any good/bad feelings about test suites and CI feedback, it's very binary. Receiving a mail about a comment on my PR raises my hopes that it reached the maintainers (or interest from other contributors); receiving LLM text destroys my expectations.

    Then, about the content itself, it has a very patronizing tone. Saying out loud every single thing that's in my +25/-3 PR is really infantilizing. I would probably have slightly less negative reactions if it only commented to suggest improvements, instead of patting me on the back. See this example: https://github.com/TwiN/gatus/pull/1712#pullrequestreview-46...

  19. webhook

    webhook is a lightweight incoming webhook server to run shell commands

  20. kubeshark

    eBPF-powered network observability for Kubernetes. Indexes L4/L7 traffic with full K8s context, decrypts TLS without keys. Queryable by AI agents via MCP and humans via dashboard.

    Project mention: API Traffic Analyzer for Kubernetes | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-09
  21. kubescape

    Kubescape is an open-source Kubernetes security platform for your IDE, CI/CD pipelines, and clusters. It includes risk analysis, security, compliance, and misconfiguration scanning, saving Kubernetes users and administrators precious time, effort, and resources.

  22. pyroscope

    Continuous Profiling Platform. Debug performance issues down to a single line of code

    Project mention: OpenTelemetry Profiles Enters Public Alpha | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-26
  23. miller

    Miller is like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for name-indexed data such as CSV, TSV, and tabular JSON

    Project mention: Miller 6.20.2: Miller and AI, bash/zsh tab-completion, bytes datatype | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-04
  24. terragrunt

    Terragrunt is a flexible orchestration tool that allows Infrastructure as Code written in OpenTofu/Terraform to scale.

    Project mention: Jenkins as a Code, or how I stopped clicking around in the UI | dev.to | 2026-05-18

    All the things that aren't Jenkins itself — VPCs, IAM, secret stores, the EKS cluster, image galleries — live in Terraform, organized with Terragrunt so the same modules get reused across dev and prod with different inputs. Same code, different variables. That's how I get dev to be code-to-code identical to prod.

  25. cloudnative-pg

    The most popular Kubernetes Operator for PostgreSQL.

    Project mention: The startup's Postgres survival guide | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-22
