Named alongside
These entries mention each other by name. It is a weak relationship and it is the only one the catalogue can show without inventing something.
Names:
- The declarative infrastructure tool that made state files and plan output an industry convention.
- Infrastructure as code in general-purpose languages, so loops, types and tests come from the language rather than from a DSL.
Same shelf
The rest of ci, cd and infrastructure, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Automation for finance operations, built as workflows rather than as spreadsheets.
- Agentless configuration management over SSH, with playbooks in YAML and no daemon on the target.
- Orchestrates AWS services as a state machine, so retries and failure branches are configuration rather than code.
- Artifact and release management for teams shipping binaries: mobile, desktop, games, XR and embedded.
- Process orchestration for long-running work that spans people, systems and now agents, with the model as the executable.
- A hosted CI platform, one of the older ones, now marketing itself around validating machine-written changes.
- Metrics, logs, traces and a great deal more in one platform. The default answer for large-scale monitoring, and priced like it.
- Deploys from a git host to servers with build steps, zero-downtime releases and one-click rollback.
