| Stackstorm has been around since 2014 [1].

| Rundeck is another closest competitors that worth mentioning.
| Things have evolved a lot in the ops space since then.
|
| With advent of container orchestration of the operational
| automation pieces have also moved to the orchestration layer.
| There have been quite some new tools in the space I have been
| tracking for instance Fylament [2] which got acquired by netapp,
| blinkops etc. Post rendezvous with this domain, some bigger
| problems most of the major framework tools like this have is
| that, it is very hard to get started. There are lot of pre-
| requisites given the nature of the ops automation, this leads to
| a problem where it is very hard to active a customer. Secondly,
| these frameworks are always competing with it is bash/python
| script deployed with some container orchestration or some
| cronjobs. I have also seen people write CRDs and reconciliation
| loops in k8s doing lot of the tasks these automation frameworks
| would do.

| already adopted StackStorm. It would be great to be able to read
| some success stories from the people using it.

| I founded a startup that does something similar for Kubernetes:

| We've seen a bit of StackStorm too with our users!

| In what sense?

| The repo linked here appears to have contributions merged in
| that last month and it has a bunch of active pull requests.
