SRIVAN
TECHNOLOGIES
Engineering software. Building products. Automating operations.
Srivan Technologies builds scalable software products, cloud platforms, DevOps automation and reliability solutions for modern engineering teams. Platform Ops is live. SrivanTerm, a remote operations workspace, is available for Windows (version 1.0.0). OpsCore Observability Intelligence is next.
INFRASTRUCTURE PRODUCTS FOR OPERATORS WHO NEED CONTEXT
Srivan Technologies is building a focused platform-engineering product line: publish the hard-won knowledge, secure the operational path, and turn live systems into readable signals.
IDENTITY, SESSION AND DELIVERY VERIFIED AT THE EDGE
Every protected path is designed around a clear trust chain: provider identity, signed session, database-backed role, then route-level access to the knowledge surface.
SRIVANTERM REMOTE OPERATIONS WORKSPACE
A Windows desktop workspace for the people who run servers: terminals, SSH, file transfer, tunnels and fleet commands in one place, built to make production work safer.
I am building SrivanTerm as the operator's side of the Srivan product line. Sessions are organised as Project, Environment, Module and Session; production tabs are marked and guarded; and every risky action can be confirmed, recorded and audited. It works offline, keeps passwords in Windows Credential Manager and talks to no cloud service. Download it below.
- SSH, local shells, serial and Telnet
- Jump hosts, tunnels, SFTP and ZMODEM
- MultiExec with canary and batch runs
- Production guard for risky commands
- Audit trail and session playback
- Host monitor and network tools
- Kubernetes pods and Docker containers
- RDP and VNC through SSH
- Second-person approval
- Code-signed releases
First stable release: Project › Environment › Module sessions, Kubernetes and Docker, second-person approval, RDP/VNC through SSH, network tools and in-app updates.
SHA-256 0e3c63023748298dc17e74b3bb91841e053fadac720f726e45ddece1ba9bf425This version is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen
may say the app is unrecognised: choose More info, then Run
anyway. Check the file against the SHA-256 above first
(Get-FileHash in PowerShell).
OPSCORE OBSERVABILITY INTELLIGENCE
Standard and enterprise-grade observability intelligence for teams that need the story behind metrics, logs, traces and incidents.
OpsCore is the next product direction: convert raw platform signals into scored reliability views, investigation paths, executive-ready reports and operational memory.
- Service health score
- Incident context reports
- Prometheus and Grafana paths
- Monthly operations summary
- Multi-cluster intelligence
- SLO and error-budget views
- Executive reliability briefs
- Private platform runbooks
IDENTITY TO KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY
A live-style map of how Srivan Technologies serves Platform Ops as a product, not only a static newsletter archive.
Readers start on public pages, authenticate with GitHub or Google, and move into protected issue and topic paths. Cloudflare Workers gate the session, D1 stores identity and subscriber state, and Resend handles the confirmation and latest-issue email loop.
TWO PATHS, ONE POD
What you deploy and what your users hit converge on the same object. Everything between the boxes is where the interesting failures live — which is why the labels are ports and admission controllers rather than arrows saying “sends request”.
FOUR AREAS, IN DEPTH
Each is something I have written at length about — not a keyword on a list.
Kubernetes & OpenShift
Cluster architecture, workload design, scheduling and placement, autoscaling that actually responds, and upgrades that do not become outages.
Observability & SRE
Prometheus, Grafana, log aggregation and tracing, assembled so the signals answer questions. Plus the practice around them — service levels, alerting, incident handling.
CI/CD & GitOps
Delivery pipelines and declarative reconciliation — ArgoCD and Flux, progressive delivery, security gates in the pipeline rather than in a document nobody reads.
Linux Infrastructure
Performance and capacity, systemd, kernel and sysctl tuning, namespaces and cgroups, and troubleshooting that ends with a specific cause.
PLATFORM OPS
A protected knowledge product for production platform work.
Platform Ops is the first Srivan Technologies product: a technical knowledge system for Kubernetes, OpenShift, SRE, Linux and platform engineering. The public surface explains the map; the member layer protects premium issues, protected topic paths, search and admin tooling.
It exists because the explanation I wanted usually did not. Writing the thing you had to work out yourself is the most reliable way to find out whether you actually understood it.
Newsletter, archive, protected knowledge paths and member workspace.
Built as static HTML with Cloudflare Workers for authentication, D1 for accounts/subscribers, and Resend-backed newsletter delivery.
THE HUMANS BEHIND THE PLATFORM WORK
Srivan Technologies stays honest about what exists today: real public work, linked profiles, and named contributors rather than manufactured scale.
Vishal Abhinav
Kubernetes, OpenShift, Linux, observability, CI/CD, GitOps, SRE and the Platform Ops product system.
Aniket Nihal
Linked public GitHub profile for contributor visibility. Skills and project role can be expanded once the public profile or bio is updated.
THREE THINGS THAT DECIDE THE OUTCOME
Read what the system says before theorising about it. Most infrastructure problems announce themselves plainly in an event, a log line or an exit code. The difficulty is knowing where to look.
A change that was not measured before and after is a change you hope worked. That applies to performance, to capacity, and to the claim that something has been fixed.
The person debugging this at 3am may be you, a year from now, with no memory of why. Configuration that explains itself beats configuration that is merely clever.
HAVE A PROBLEM IN THIS LAYER?
Specifics get a better answer than introductions — say what is actually happening and I will tell you what I would look at first.
