StarOps Open Beta Header Image

Evaluating DevOps tools shouldn't feel like a chore. We made it simple, and we're opening it up to everyone.

Why We're Doing This

Let's be honest, evaluating new platform tools can be a time suck. You spin up clusters, connect APIs, configure permissions, import IaC, and before you know it, you've spent two weeks just testing whether it fits your stack (surprise, your trial is ending the same day).

We built StarOps to make the lives of platform engineers easier, and that includes the evaluation period. During our Open Beta, you can explore it all for free.

What You Get in the Open Beta

Start fast
Every account comes with a non-empty sandbox, preloaded with a working infrastructure setup so you can test real workflows immediately, no setup required.
Meet DeepOps
Our AI-powered agent that helps you simplify troubleshooting by collecting context across your logs, events, and pipelines. It doesn't just show you what's wrong, it explains why and shows you receipts. Trusting AI can only happen if it is transparent. See every tool and command being issued.
Explore OneShots
Plug in your own AWS or GCP sandbox account and deploy real infrastructure — models, clusters, Redis, S3, Supabase, or even full Kubernetes environments — with one-shot prompts.
Stay in control
Human-in-the-loop approvals for any write operations. Keep all assets you generate. Open pull requests directly from StarOps. Everything's built around the workflows you already use — Git, IaC, and your own cloud.

Why Join the Beta

The Open Beta is your chance to:

  • Experiment with agentic platform engineering safely and freely
  • Help shape StarOps before general availability
  • Keep what you build — your infra, your agents, your insights

We'll keep StarOps completely free during this phase so your team has ample time to evaluate whether it makes sense for your stack.

What to Evaluate
Key dimensions to weigh during your evaluation.
  • Time to Value: How fast can your engineers ship something meaningful?
  • Maintenance Load: How many FTEs are required to maintain it?
  • Coverage: Which workflows and stacks are supported natively?
  • Integration: Effort to integrate with CI/CD, secrets, policies
  • Total Cost: Cloud spend, headcount, opportunity cost
Resources
Tools to make your evaluation faster and more rigorous.
