Hey Product Hunt fame👋
I ran a dev agency for 5 years. We managed servers for dozens of clients across different stacks, different regions, different everything.
And every single time, the setup was the same. A spreadsheet with IP addresses nobody kept updated. SSH tabs open with names like "bash" and "bash (2)". Someone is googling a command they had run 50 times before. A deployment that should have taken 10 minutes turned into an hour because one environment variable was wrong.
We had 2 DevOps guys on the team. But whenever something was urgent, they were never reachable. And the rest of us were left staring at a terminal, hoping we remembered the right command.
Every client had their own server. To check something as simple as "is the site running?" someone had to open a terminal, find the right IP, dig up the credentials, and log in. Separately.
Every time. For every client.
We had no unified view.
No quick way to know what was happening across our infrastructure without pulling in the one person who knew how to navigate it all. Everything ran through him. If he was unavailable, we were blind.
We got tired of that. So we built CtrlOps.
The idea was simple, what if managing a server felt as normal as using your laptop?
Named servers instead of IPs.
A file manager instead of SFTP.
A terminal that understands plain English.
Developers started doing things on servers they would never have attempted before, because they could see exactly what would happen first.
That is what CtrlOps is really about. Not replacing DevOps. Just making servers feel less like a minefield.
1 month free, no credit card needed. Try it and tell me what breaks. I read every reply.
What is the most stressful server situation you have ever been in?
