    Stategraph

    Stategraph

    Stategraph

    Stategraph is an operational database for infrastructure, designed to become the system of record for the resources you run, the changes you ship, and the humans or AI agents making them. Instead of storing Terraform state as a flat JSON blob, it normalizes infrastructure into a structured, queryable graph with real relationships, history, and ownership. Plans and applies operate only on the affected subgraph, allowing independent changes to run in parallel without a global workspace lock. Teams can coordinate changes across multiple states in a single atomic transaction, query infrastructure with SQL, detect drift and unmanaged resources, analyze blast radius, and understand dependencies before changes ship. Compliance and internal policies run against actual infrastructure state with full attribution, history, and exportable evidence, while cost data can be connected directly to resources, owners, changes, and dependencies.

    Replace phpMyAdmin with Adminer and you will get a tidier user interface, better support for MySQL features, higher performance and more security. Security is #1 priority in development of Adminer. Adminer does not allow connecting to databases without a password and it rate-limits the connection attempts to protect against brute-force attacks. Still, consider making Adminer inaccessible to public by whitelisting IP addresses allowed to connect to it, password-protecting the access in your web server, enabling security plugins (e.g. to require an OTP) or by customizing the login method. You can also delete Adminer if not needed anymore, it is just one file which is easy to upload in the future. Adminer had some security bugs in the past so update whenever Adminer tells you there is a new version available (ask your administrator if you could not update yourself). Connect to a database server with username and password. /Select an existing database or create a new one.

SpeedBase is a desktop database software that is installed to your computer. To access your data, you do not have to login to a remote server that is shared among thousands of users. You do not even need an internet connection. All your data stays just with you and nobody else. SpeedBase runs incredibly fast as it is never affected by the internet connection speed or the load level of an online database server. If you are using any spreadsheet software (like Excel) to save and track information, you should have already discovered that the types of information you need to manage as well as the number of records increases very rapidly with time, and soon it becomes painfull and time-consuming to keep the scattered information accurate, searchable and easy to navigate.
