Open-source startups for IT and ops

91 open-source startups in this directory are built first for IT and ops. 79 pushed code within 30 days of the snapshot of 2026-09-22, 3 have been quiet for 31–120 days, 9 have not pushed in over 120 days. The audience is chosen by Jev, TypeSafe’s classifier, from the repository’s own description: who a project appears to be built for first, not the only people who use it.

79 of 91 pushed within 30 days of the snapshot of 2026-09-22. How we measure it →

All 91, most-starred first.

The whole directory by ship status →

The last column is the most recent push GitHub reported to us on 2026-09-22. It counts a push to any branch, by a person or a bot — it is not a claim that anyone is maintaining the project, and a quiet repository may be a finished one.
