Hi, I’m David Moreno, main developer of Serverboards. Ask me anything.

Serverboards is a control panel to monitorize, manage and automate cloud services. It's very easy to develop new plugins and give access to external services. We have support for Google Analytics, Drive, Facebook Ads, web site, SSH server.. and more[1].

Technically it is developed using Elixir for the backend and React.js for the frontend. It uses JSON-RPC to communicate with each of the plugin helpers, developed in any programming language (even bash), and uses a CQRS architecture.

Currently we are oriented to IT management (SPICE, SSH, Prometheus monitoring…) but I think this idea can be used on many other niches.

Are there plans for a SaaS version?

Just now we want to focus on gather information on how people use it, if we are developing the proper integrations and so on.

Once we have enough integrations developed, we will definitely do a SaaS offering.

Our idea is to simplify service management (and monitoring and automation), and the first line of simplification is simplify installation by not needing to install at all.

Anyway it is Open Source with an Apache2 license, so it's quite easy to try, if you don't care about the installation itself.
