I'm CEO of robusta.dev (an automations tool for Kubernetes) and this has been our experience too.
People don't want the ability to write their own automations - they want something that just works out of the box.
Very early on we realized this based on feedback and pivoted to focusing on out of the box alert insights (powered by automations we wrote) and not write your own automations.
I don't know what the equivalent is for the web.
- slightwinder 5y ago> People don't want the ability to write their own automations I don't think that is true. People do want their own automations, but only when necessary. And as always, it should be as effortless as possible. That's the main fail where most of those tools struggle. > they want something that just works out of the box. Why not both? Personally, I want something gives me everything for the common tasks and services, but also has room to let me grow into the direction I need to go. This does not mean I want to build everything myself, or even start at zero. But between zero customizing, and doing everything yourself, there should be a common ground that allows me find my sweet spot. And there are many good tools which do feed into this desires and are working well.
- nyellin 5y agoYes, you're right. I should have elaborated more. We give you the useful content out of the box but you can customize to your heart's content and write your own automations. All the APIs used to create the out of the box content are available for you too.
