faq

short answers about how wheres-the-it-guy works, what it stores, and why it isn't another wiki that goes stale by friday.

what is wheres-the-it-guy?

a team knowledge base for the infrastructure, credentials, and saas bills nobody wrote down. you model your team's tech surface as four card types — stack (services), actor (people), bill (subscriptions), project (groupings) — and link them together. when a teammate asks 'who pays for vercel?' the answer is one search away.

how do i track team subscriptions and renewal dates?

every saas subscription becomes a bill card with a payer (an actor), a renewal date, and links to the stacks it covers. the dashboard surfaces upcoming renewals so a card switch or a forgotten invoice never blocks production.

is this a saas inventory tool?

you can use it that way, yes. most teams also use it for the human side: who owns this service, who has the login, who pays the bill, who to ping when it breaks. it's the readme of your stack, not just a spreadsheet of vendors.

how is this different from notion or confluence?

notion is a blank page. wtitg is opinionated about the shape — four card types, structured relationships, statuses that don't drift. you'll never wonder whether prod db lives in 'infra/' or 'services/' or some 2022 doc. one question, one answer.

does this store passwords or credentials?

no. wtitg tracks who has access, where a credential lives (1password vault, github org, aws account), and what it's for — never the secret itself. plug it into your existing secret manager. one source of truth for inventory, not another vault to compromise.

how much does it cost?

free during beta. unlimited cards, unlimited orgs, no credit card. when paid plans land they'll be priced for small teams — free-tier users will get plenty of warning.

who is john?

every dev team has a john. the person who knows where everything lives, who owns what, what it costs, and why that one service is named after his cat. wtitg is the readme so john can take a vacation.

still have a question? the answer is probably also no, but ask anyway.
