DevOps Pipeline & Infrastructure Tracker

DevOps work never stops. You're deploying services, responding to incidents, upgrading infrastructure, managing CI/CD pipelines, and handling requests from every development team in the organization. The operational load is constant, the context switching is brutal, and most project management tools are designed for product development - not the reactive, infrastructure-focused work that DevOps demands.

t0ggles is the project management tool that gives DevOps engineers everything they need to track deployments, manage incidents, and coordinate infrastructure changes. Use task dependencies to model rollout sequences. Track environments and services with custom properties. Connect commits and PRs through the GitHub integration. All for $5/user/month with every feature included.

#The Challenge: Why DevOps Teams Need Dedicated Tracking

DevOps sits at the intersection of development and operations, and the work patterns are different from either:

Reactive work interrupts planned work. You have a roadmap of infrastructure improvements, but incidents and urgent requests constantly pull you off track. Most project management tools assume you'll work through a backlog in order. DevOps needs to handle interruptions without losing sight of planned work.

Cross-team dependencies are complex. A database migration requires coordination between the backend team, the data team, DevOps, and sometimes product. A Kubernetes upgrade affects every service in the cluster. Tracking these cross-team dependencies in separate tools means something always falls through the cracks.

Deployment sequences matter. You can't deploy the new API version before the database migration runs. The canary deployment must finish before the full rollout starts. The rollback plan needs to be verified before the deployment begins. These sequences are critical and need to be explicit, not kept in someone's head.

Runbooks and documentation decay fast. Infrastructure changes constantly - new services, deprecated endpoints, updated configurations. Runbooks that aren't maintained become dangerous. You need documentation that lives alongside the work, not in a wiki nobody updates.

#How t0ggles Helps DevOps Teams Stay On Top

#Task Dependencies: Model Deployment Sequences

Task dependencies in t0ggles make deployment order explicit and visible:

  1. Backup production database (no dependencies)
  2. Run database migration (depends on #1)
  3. Deploy API v2.3 to staging (depends on #2)
  4. Run integration tests on staging (depends on #3)
  5. Canary deployment - 10% traffic (depends on #4)
  6. Monitor canary for 2 hours (depends on #5, with lag days)
  7. Full production rollout (depends on #6)
  8. Verify production health (depends on #7)

The Gantt view shows the full deployment pipeline as a timeline with dependency arrows. If the database migration is delayed, every downstream task automatically shifts. No manual recalculation of timelines, no missed steps in the sequence.

For complex rollouts, lag days add required wait times between steps - like the monitoring window between canary and full deployment.

#Custom Properties: Track Infrastructure Metadata

Custom properties capture DevOps-specific data on every task:

  • Environment (select): Development, Staging, Production, DR
  • Service (select): API Gateway, Auth Service, Database, CDN, Queue
  • Priority/Severity (select): P1 Critical, P2 High, P3 Medium, P4 Low
  • Change Type (select): Deployment, Hotfix, Migration, Config Change, Infra Upgrade
  • Rollback Plan (select): Automated, Manual, None Required
  • Downtime Expected (select): Yes, No, Maintenance Window

Filter tasks by environment to see everything happening in production. Sort by severity to prioritize incidents. The board becomes an operational dashboard that's always current.

#GitHub Integration: Connect Code to Deployments

The GitHub two-way sync links your infrastructure code to deployment tasks:

  • Commits and pull requests appear on related tasks automatically
  • Terraform changes, Kubernetes manifests, and CI/CD pipeline updates are visible alongside the deployment plan
  • When a PR is merged, the associated task can auto-advance to the next status

This closes the gap between "the code changed" and "the deployment was tracked." No more searching through Git history to figure out what was included in a release.

#t0ggles Crew: Automated Infrastructure Workflows

t0ggles Crew is a free desktop companion app that orchestrates AI coding agents to autonomously pick up tasks and execute work. For DevOps teams, this means automating routine infrastructure tasks:

  • Automated code review: A review agent picks up infrastructure PRs, checks Terraform changes and Kubernetes manifests, makes fixes, and reports back
  • Scheduled maintenance tasks: Pipeline scheduling runs agents at fixed times or intervals for routine operations
  • Chained workflows: A development agent implements an infrastructure change, then a review agent validates it before human approval

Set up pipelines with bot user identities so each agent has a clear identity in your change audit trail. Phased development breaks complex infrastructure changes into numbered phases with a review between each one - ideal for multi-step migration projects.

#Multi-Project Boards: Organize by Service or Initiative

DevOps teams handle work across multiple domains simultaneously. t0ggles multi-project boards support any organizational structure:

  • Infrastructure project - Kubernetes upgrades, network changes, capacity planning
  • CI/CD project - Pipeline improvements, build optimizations, test infrastructure
  • Incidents project - Active incidents, post-mortems, follow-up actions
  • Security project - Patching, compliance, access reviews, vulnerability remediation

Focus Mode lets you zoom into one domain when you need to concentrate. The combined view shows your team's full operational picture across all projects.

#Milestones: Track Major Infrastructure Initiatives

Milestones mark significant checkpoints in infrastructure projects:

  • Kubernetes 1.29 Upgrade Complete - all clusters upgraded and verified
  • Zero-Downtime Deployment Pipeline - full CD pipeline operational
  • SOC 2 Compliance Ready - all security controls implemented
  • Multi-Region Active-Active - disaster recovery architecture complete

Milestones give leadership the high-level progress they need. Underneath each milestone, individual tasks track the detailed work. The milestone progress bar shows percentage complete based on associated tasks.

#Board Automations: Reduce Operational Overhead

Board automations handle repetitive DevOps processes:

  • When a task moves to "Deployed", automatically create a monitoring checklist task
  • When a P1 incident is created, notify the on-call engineer immediately
  • When a post-mortem task is created, auto-assign to the incident lead
  • When a security patch task is overdue, escalate to the team lead

Automation keeps the operational machinery running without manual intervention.

#Notes: Runbooks and Documentation

Notes in t0ggles are ideal for DevOps documentation:

  • Runbooks: Step-by-step procedures for common operations, with code blocks for commands
  • Architecture diagrams: Document service topologies and data flows
  • Post-mortem templates: Standardized incident review format
  • On-call guides: Who to contact, escalation procedures, service ownership

The rich text editor supports code blocks for shell commands, YAML configurations, and SQL queries. Link runbooks to related tasks so the documentation is always where you need it.

#DevOps Workflows In t0ggles

#Incident Management

When an incident hits, create a P1 task with the service and environment tagged. Add what you know to the description. As the team investigates, update the task with findings - timeline, root cause hypotheses, mitigation steps.

Once resolved, the task moves through statuses: Investigating, Mitigating, Resolved, Post-Mortem. The post-mortem creates follow-up action items as subtasks or dependent tasks. Each action item gets assigned, prioritized, and tracked through completion.

The full incident lifecycle - from alert to remediation - lives on one task with all context preserved.

#Change Management

For planned infrastructure changes, create a task with the change type, affected services, rollback plan, and expected downtime documented in custom properties. Dependencies chain the change steps in order.

Before the change window, the team reviews the task - all steps visible in the dependency chain, rollback plan confirmed. During execution, update each step as it completes. If something goes wrong, the rollback plan is right there on the task.

After the change, close out the task and document any lessons learned in comments. The change history provides an audit trail for compliance.

#Infrastructure Roadmap

Strategic infrastructure initiatives get their own project. Break the initiative into phases, each with a milestone. Individual tasks track specific work items - provisioning, configuration, testing, documentation.

The Gantt view shows the full roadmap timeline. Dependencies model the technical requirements - you can't set up monitoring before the service exists. The team picks up tasks from the backlog, and the board shows real-time progress toward each milestone.
