This is cool, although what I really wish for is a standardized configuration API that can be programmatically used to maintain this sort of thing.

We develop apps that depend on a handful of services like these. Each service has its own page for specifying API credentials and for various configuration options which must be entered manually through a GUI; it can't be declared through Puppet/Chef/etc.

Another pain point is that every service needs its own login, very few of them support 2FA, very few of them support team-oriented accounts (ie., where login is separate from the account, and access is delegated to the account; Mailgun and Digital Ocean, for example, lacks this, whereas Scout, Rollbar etc. don't), each has a completely proprietary health status page, etc.

I am hoping someone someday will invent a centralized app (preferably based on an open protocol so there can be multiple providers) for this kind of organizational access. Sort like OpenID, except it needs role-based permission levels.




First, thank you for checking it out!

Our tech can put the API keys into your app's env so you likely wont need the GUI you are talking about.

Our App dashboard has SSO login into all the addons. So you dont need to worry about account creds, just click a button and you are logged in.

I think our product is a solution to your problem(s), happy to answer any more questions or give more details.


That does sound awesome. Thanks for doing this.


I sent you an email, I'd love to hear more about your exact usecase.

my email is chris @ addonlist .com


We're releasing team management with rights and roles alongside a host of other features this month. This is great feedback and, ultimately, a lot of what we hope to solve. We are as into creating dev tools as much as building out marketplace features. Let's chat! ben @ addonlist . com
