TIL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runbook

Runbooks or playbooks are often used interchangeably.

I went with Runbooks since a playbook is usually something more abstract. For e.g

A playbook might say: "restart the ec2 server," but a Runbook will list the exact sequence of commands you can run to restart a server.

Excited to try it. How does it do with privacy? Are my runbooks used to train any models?

(Savvy's founder here) Nope, we don't train any models on user data. Let me know how it goes!

I had the same question. What do you do with user data? Are my commands, output, or other data sent to your database? I work with PHI so have to be careful with tools like this. At the same time it looks incredibly useful and easy to use!

We don't see or store the output of your commands at all.

Your commands and the AI generated text for runbooks created using savvy record and savvy record history are stored in the database.

All data in the DB is encrypted at rest and during transit.

Any runbook, commands, or explanations generated with savvy ask/explain are ephemeral and not stored in our DB.

I spent about two minutes looking at it, I have no idea what a runbook is or what this project does and is used for. "From fixing prod to local dev..." ?????

You're right. My post assumes too much prior knowledge.

A runbook is a set of precise commands that you can use to resolve or diagnose anything from a complete production outage to helping a developer debug their local environment.

Most developers manually create runbooks - Savvy's CLI changes that and allows you to create runbooks in seconds.

Here's an example runbook that shows how you can extract an x509 cert from a config map and verify its validity: https://app.getsavvy.so/runbook/rb_72e6b7d29ae70abe/How-To-V...

This product looks really cool! But I would have to know more about the pricing model before I could recommend it at work. Also, does it work across SSH sessions? ie can I shell into a different machine as part of the runbook?

Savvy doesn't have SSH support, but I'm working to add it soon.

I think we can make SSH support work without installing Savvy on the remote machine, but I'm still working through the details.

I'm laser-focused on nailing the DX and making sure it delivers a lot of value to our users.

If you're up for it, I'd love to chat and learn more about how Savvy can help you personally and at work - my email is shantanu@getsavvy.so
