4 months ago Hi @nickmoore444 thanks for your suggestion and feature request!
As a possible stopgap, we have several publicly contributed workflows in our Workflows Repository. You can contribute whatever you feel is missing in the SRE space.
You can also save Workflows to share with your SRE team and even embed them into documentation with a Notebook.
Please let us know if those help with your use case.
To anyone else interested in this feature, please add a 👍 to the original post at the top to signal that you want this feature, and subscribe if you'd like to be notified.

Describe the solution you'd like?
We propose the development of a dedicated workflow library for Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) that integrates seamlessly with Warp Terminal. This library should be accessible through Cargo, Warp's native package manager, or a newly established package manager specifically designed for Warp Terminal. The goal is to enable SREs to easily download, install, and integrate common workflows directly into their terminal environment.
Key Features:
Community-Driven Workflow Contributions: Enable the community to contribute workflows, ensuring the library evolves with the changing needs and experiences of SREs globally. Implement a review and approval process to maintain high-quality and secure workflows. Easy Integration with Warp Terminal: Workflows should be seamlessly integrable with minimal setup, enhancing user productivity and ensuring consistency across environments. Categorization and Search Functionality: Include categories such as incident management, monitoring integration, log analysis, and system diagnostics. Advanced search capabilities to help users find the most relevant and highly rated workflows. Version Control and Workflow Updates: Incorporate version control for workflows to manage updates and dependencies. Notify users of workflow updates and enable easy update processes within the terminal. Documentation and Support: Provide comprehensive documentation for each workflow, including setup instructions, use cases, and troubleshooting tips. Establish a community forum for support, discussion, and feedback on the workflows.
Benefits:
Efficiency and Standardization: Standardizes common tasks and procedures among SRE teams, increasing efficiency and reducing room for errors. Community Collaboration: Fosters a strong community collaboration that leverages collective expertise to create and refine workflows. Rapid Onboarding: New team members or those transitioning to SRE roles can quickly adapt by utilizing pre-made, proven workflows. Implementation Considerations:
Assess the security implications of community-contributed code and establish strict guidelines and testing protocols. Determine the infrastructure and UI/UX design for integrating the library within Warp Terminal for optimal user experience. Explore potential partnerships or collaborations with existing open-source projects or industry leaders in the SRE space to enrich the library's offerings.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, this feature request addresses several problems currently faced by Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) using Warp Terminal:
Lack of Standardization: SREs often develop their own scripts and workflows, which can lead to inconsistencies and duplication of effort within and across teams. A central repository of standardized workflows would help unify processes and ensure best practices are followed. Time Consumption: SREs spend significant time writing and debugging scripts for routine tasks. By having a readily accessible library of tested workflows, SREs can reduce setup and troubleshooting time, allowing them to focus more on critical operations. Barrier to Entry: New SREs or those transitioning into the role might find it challenging to develop efficient workflows from scratch. A library with well-documented, community-vetted workflows would lower the barrier to entry and speed up the onboarding process. Maintenance Overhead: Individual scripts and tools require ongoing maintenance and updates. A centralized workflow library with community contributions and a structured update mechanism can alleviate the maintenance burden on individual SREs. Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: There's a lack of a centralized platform where SREs can share knowledge and collaborate on workflow solutions. This feature would create a community-driven environment fostering innovation and continuous improvement in workflow tools. This feature aims to address these problems by providing a community-based library where workflows can be shared, improved, and standardized across the SRE community, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.
