Service Browsers

StackPort covers 35 AWS services. Thirteen of them have a dedicated view built around how you actually use that service. The other 22 get a generic resource table that still lets you search, inspect and export everything.

Write operations follow STACKPORT_ALLOW_WRITES. In read-only mode the server refuses them and the top bar shows a Read-only badge.

Every other service opens in a generic view:

  • One tab per resource type, with a count on each.
  • A table whose columns come from the data, with a property filter (:, !:, =, !=), sorting, resizable columns and a page size of 25, 50 or 100.
  • j and k to move between rows and Enter to open one.
  • A detail modal with the full describe response as JSON.
  • Tags for supported resource types, editable when writes are enabled.
  • Export of each tab to JSON or CSV.

The services on the generic table are ACM, API Gateway (REST and HTTP APIs), AppSync, Athena, CloudFormation, CloudFront, Cognito User Pools, Cognito Identity Pools, ECR, ECS, EFS, ElastiCache, Elastic Load Balancing, EMR, EventBridge, Firehose, Glue, Kinesis, Route 53, SES, Systems Manager Parameter Store and WAFv2.

StackPort reads tags on 24 resource types and edits them on 23 (CloudFormation stacks are read-only). Editing replaces the full tag set with what you save. Where tags are editable depends on the view: the generic table, S3 buckets, SQS queues, EC2 instances and CloudWatch log groups have an editor, and Secrets Manager edits tags with the secret’s metadata. The other dedicated views show tags read-only.

  • Dashboard. Every service with its status and resource counts, live over a WebSocket (falling back to polling), as cards or a table. Star a service to pin it first and add it to the top bar.
  • Service search. Alt+S (Option+S on macOS) jumps to any service.
  • Deep links. Views put the selected resource in the URL (?bucket=, ?table=, ?queue=, ?function= and so on), so you can bookmark or share exactly what you are looking at.
  • Export. Many tables export to JSON or CSV, named stackport-<service>-<type>-<timestamp>.
  • Themes. Light, dark, or follow the system.
  • Confirmation for destructive actions. Purging or deleting a queue, deleting a topic, and deleting log groups and streams ask you to type the name first.
