Stackstorm operates on a simple principle: when X occurs, do Y. However, it can handle extremely complex scenarios within this framework. Its workflow engine allows for branching, loops, and error handling, making it capable of automating even the most intricate incident response procedures.One of Stackstorm's biggest strengths is its open-source nature. This not only makes it cost-effective but also allows for deep customization. Organizations with strong technical teams can leverage Stackstorm to build a tailor-made incident response automation system that perfectly fits their needs.
