Frequently Asked Questions About Stakpak
What is Stakpak and how does it work?
Stakpak is a terminal-first, open-source AI DevOps agent written in Rust for performance and safety. It observes your infrastructure state, interprets natural language requests, and executes secure, auditable actions—whether auditing permissions, optimizing cloud spend, diagnosing outages, or packaging applications. Its intelligence is grounded in real-time context, not generic prompts.
How do I install Stakpak on my system?
Installation takes under 5 seconds. Run curl -sSL https://stakpak.dev/install.sh | sh in any POSIX-compatible terminal (macOS, Linux, WSL). For air-gapped or compliance-sensitive environments, download signed binaries directly from stakpak.dev—verified via checksums and Sigstore attestations.
Is Stakpak free and open-source?
Yes—100% open source under the MIT License, with full source available on GitHub. Core functionality—including security scanning, cost analysis, incident diagnostics, and containerization—is freely available. Pro Hacker and Teams plans add advanced collaboration, governance, and extensibility features—designed for growth, not lock-in.
What security features does Stakpak provide?
Stakpak embeds security at every layer: proactive secret scanning across repos and runtime logs; deterministic IAM policy validation powered by Stakpak Warden; auto-generated, SOC 2–aligned audit reports; and zero-trust deployment guards that verify configurations before applying changes. All data remains under your control—no telemetry leaves your environment unless explicitly configured.
Can Stakpak integrate with my existing DevOps tools?
Designed for interoperability, Stakpak integrates natively with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Terraform, Kubernetes APIs, AWS CLI, and common logging/metrics backends. Its CLI-first architecture means it works inside pipelines, local shells, and ephemeral cloud environments alike—exposing consistent behavior whether invoked manually or programmatically via its REST API or async tool calls.
