Whether you’re working with on-prem or cloud servers, you will need to give the right people access, install software dependencies, manage firewalls, set up domain names, perform system updates, and whatever other application-specific tasks are required to keep your services functioning. In this talk, I present the tools that The Helioviewer Project’s development team has adopted for managing our service infrastructure. These tools include Apache Superset for visualizing statistics, Sentry for application health monitoring, OpenTofu for managing cloud infrastructure, Docker for creating self-contained environments, and Ansible for deploying software. Using these tools reduces software development effort and takes off the mental load of remembering how each application is configured and deployed, allows applications to run autonomously, and moves any debugging efforts onto the application itself and away from its environment.
