Ops tool directory
102 tools referenced across the operations focus areas, grouped by the discipline that names them. Each entry says what the tool is for and which areas reference it.
Naming a tool here is not an endorsement, and this is not a market survey. These are the tools the content references when describing how a practice is commonly implemented — the right choice depends on constraints this page cannot see.

Apache Airflow
Workflow orchestrator for authoring, scheduling and monitoring data pipelines as code.
Dagster
Asset-oriented orchestrator that models pipelines around the data they produce rather than the tasks they run.
Great Expectations
Data quality framework for expressing and running assertions about datasets as part of a pipeline.
dbt

DevEx
DevNetOps
DevOps
DevSecOps
FinOps
GitOps
GRCOps
IncidentOps

Tracing, dataset and evaluation tooling for LLM applications, including prompt-level comparison runs.
Langfuse
Open-source observability, prompt management and evaluation for LLM applications, including retrieval traces.

MarketingOps
MLOps
Evidently
Open-source evaluation and monitoring for data and model quality, including drift reporting.
Feast
Feature store that serves the same feature definitions to training and inference, closing the training/serving gap.

MLflow
Experiment tracking and model registry giving a single answer to what is in production and where it came from.
ModelOps
NetOps
NoOps

Open-source distributed tracing backend for following requests across service boundaries.
OpenTelemetry
Vendor-neutral instrumentation standard for traces, metrics, logs.
Prometheus
Open-source metrics collection and alerting toolkit.
PeopleOps
Platform Engineering
PrivacyOps
DataHub
Open-source metadata platform that discovers datasets and lineage, which is how a data inventory stays current without a survey.
Fides
Open-source privacy engineering toolkit for data mapping, consent and automating data-subject request fulfilment.
OpenMetadata
Metadata and data-governance platform with classification and lineage, usable to tag personal data at the column level.
ProductOps
Amplitude
Product analytics platform for funnel and retention analysis over an instrumented event taxonomy.
Dovetail
Research repository for storing, tagging and searching customer research and interviews.
Productboard
Product management system for consolidating feedback and connecting it to planned work.

QAOps
RAGOps
LlamaIndex
Framework for building ingestion, indexing and retrieval pipelines over private content.
Ragas
Evaluation library for retrieval-augmented systems, scoring retrieval and answer quality against reference sets.

Vector similarity search inside PostgreSQL, keeping retrieval in an existing database rather than adding a separate store.
ReleaseOps
Argo CD
Declarative continuous delivery that reconciles a cluster against a versioned desired state.
OpenFeature
Vendor-neutral feature-flag specification and SDKs, used to separate deploying code from releasing it.
semantic-release
Automates version numbering and release notes from commit history so versioning stays consistent.
Resilience Engineering
RevOps

SecOps
Sigma
A vendor-neutral format for writing detection rules, so detections are reviewable code that survives a change of SIEM.
Wazuh
Open-source detection and log analysis platform covering host intrusion detection, file integrity and alerting.
