StackStorm

StackStorm is an Apache-2.0-licensed, event-driven automation program for operational work. Also known as “IFTTT for Ops,” it can automate auto-remediation, security responses, troubleshooting, deployments, and other event-driven operations. It combines a rules engine with workflow functionality, allowing events to trigger rules, workflows, integrations, and actions. StackStorm also includes ChatOps and 160 integration packs that provide more than 6,000 actions. The program is intended for teams responsible for operations, security response, troubleshooting, and software deployments that need to coordinate automated responses across integrated systems. It can replace Zapier for event-driven operational automation, particularly when rules and multi-step workflows are needed. One important difference is that StackStorm’s stated focus is operational use cases; its described capabilities center on remediation, security, troubleshooting, and deployments rather than automation outside those areas.
