Know what depends on what — before you break it

Elder is organized around the five things every team already tracks — Workstreams, Issues, Relationships, Entities, and Documents (WIRED) — so staff get one place to raise a request, security gets one graph of what’s connected, and compliance can answer an auditor without a week of digging.

Highlights

Workstreams

Automate repetitive work — approvals, notifications, escalations — with a visual playbook instead of a script nobody maintains.

Issues

Give every team one place to raise, track, and resolve internal requests and work items.

Relationships

See what depends on what, before you make a change — not after an incident.

Entities

One inventory whether it runs in AWS or GCP, inside Kubernetes, or on a vCenter cluster in your own datacenter — instead of scattered spreadsheets.

Documents

Answer a compliance question without a week of digging through spreadsheets.

Built for real deployments

Elder is open-source and self-hostable — free to use internally under a Limited AGPL v3 license, so you’re never locked into a vendor.

Version 4.0 adds internal support ticketing, workflow automation, and a documents & diagrams knowledge base on top of the existing infrastructure-tracking core.
