The database backing this, Supabase, describes itself as "stable enough for most non-enterprise use-cases". I suppose that means this tool is "stable enough for most non-enterprise use-cases", which means I can't use it despite wanting to.
Basically - if you would run it on RDS, you can run it on Supabase
What do you guys use for managing digital assets, and by that I mean what software is installed where, what usernames/passwords are required for operating (databases, 3rd party API, etc), which versions, etc?
And infrastructure as code
* No basic fields like a serial number, model, etc * You can't change the color of a category once created * It lacks the ability to make assets templates * No obvious ways to create custom fields
Unfortunately, both shelf and snipe are limited asset management systems that do not cover the broader asset management situations and issues. Having worked in asset management at one time, the field has some quite difficult aspects that are often missed by these relatively simple systems. I am not disparaging what either of these systems do. There is a lot of time and effort that has been put into them. However, ful…
1. Separates, but inter-connect the Asssets and CI. An asset will never change during its lifecycle. A CI is the actual configuration(s) of an asset. It could be a simple laptop (asset) with a standard OS (CI, one-to-one relationship), or it could be a server (asset) with multiple virtual machines (CI, one-to-many relationship)
2. Will handle the entire lifecycle of the equipment.
3. Will be an integral part of the purchasing, receiving and decommission process.
4. Will allow you to predict and plan the replacement of old assets with a high level of confidence.
The product presented by OP only touches a sliver of what asset management is. For some it might be just enough, but most don't realize how complex it can become.
I tried the hosted demo and IMO it feel way too barebone. * No basic fields like a serial number, model, etc * You can't change the color of a category once created * It lacks the ability to make assets templates * No obvious ways to create custom fields
One downside: the blog entries look like it was written by ChatGPT or similar.
Another great open source asset management system to check out is Snipe-IT. https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it I have used it for years both self hosted and with them hosting and it's been a great low cost solution for asset management.
