Valerter

Valerter streams logs from VictoriaLogs in real-time and sends notifications with the actual log line plus extracted context (host, site, service, port, user, etc.). The goal is to put the key debugging context in the alert itself (full log line + fields), so you can start investigating right away.

Vind

vind (vCluster in Docker) is a revolutionary way to run Kubernetes clusters directly as Docker containers. Built on top of vCluster, vind combines the power of virtual Kubernetes clusters with the simplicity of Docker, creating isolated Kubernetes environments that are perfect for development, testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
