Stop debugging Kubernetes at 2 AM with 15 different kubectl commands.

Stop debugging Kubernetes at 2 AM with 15 different kubectl commands.

When a pod enters CrashLoopBackOff in production, 80% of your time isn't spent fixing the problemβ€”it's wasted context-switching between kubectl describe, previous logs, events, and YAML specs trying to find what actually broke.

I built 🩺 KubeDoctor β€” an autonomous Kubernetes diagnostic and incident triage platform that brings complete clarity in seconds.

Here is what's happening in the 28-second demo [watch video]:

πŸ” Instant Root Cause Analysis: Auto-diagnoses CrashLoopBackOff, Missing Secrets, Broken Service Selectors, and Node DiskPressure.
πŸ’‘ SRE-First Remediation: Generates the exact, copy-pasteable CLI command to fix the issue immediately without guesswork.
πŸ“œ Container Crash Forensics: Streams live container crash tracebacks with instant keyword search.
πŸ”” Chronological Events Timeline: Correlates Kubernetes warning and normal events in real time.
πŸ“„ Automated Post-Mortem Export: Generates a complete 4-section Markdown incident report with one click.

Built with Python & the Kubernetes Client API, and tested end-to-end with Microsoft Playwright browser automation.

πŸ‘‰ Question for DevOps & Platform Engineers:
When an incident strikes in production, do you prefer getting the exact CLI fix to verify and run manually, or do you prefer the system to auto-heal autonomously?
