The Enterprise Control Plane for Hardware Test Automation
Lager provides the open standard for automating physical test equipment. Stout adds the fleet management, job orchestration, workflows, and access controls your organization needs to operate at scale.
Boxes
Hardware labs weren't built for scale
As teams grow, shared hardware infrastructure becomes a bottleneck.
Scattered Fleet Visibility
No centralized way to see which boxes are online, what instruments are connected, or what jobs are running. You SSH into each machine one at a time.
See solutionObservability Gap
No centralized view of which devices are online, busy, or failing. Test results live in scattered logs.
See solutionGovernance Gap
No access controls, audit trails, or compliance reporting across shared test infrastructure.
See solutionManual Job Dispatch
Running tests on shared hardware means SSH sessions, manual CLI invocations, and no record of what ran, what passed, or what artifacts were produced.

Stout layers fleet management, job orchestration, and access control on top of the open-source Lager runtime.
Fleet Management
Register, probe, and monitor Lager boxes. See instruments, nets, and webcams. Import existing boxes in one click.
Job Orchestration
Submit jobs via dashboard or API. BullMQ dispatch, real-time log streaming via WebSocket, automatic artifact storage.
Workflows & CI
YAML multi-step pipelines with manual, webhook, or schedule triggers. GitHub App integration for check runs on PRs.
Team & Access Control
Orgs with role-based access, JWT sessions, API keys for boxes. SSO backend supports OIDC and SAML.
Built for your entire hardware team
Whether you're hands-on with instruments or managing lab strategy, Stout gives you the tools to work faster.
Test Engineers
See your entire fleet at a glance. Submit jobs from the dashboard, stream logs in real time, and download artifacts — no more SSH-ing into boxes.
Engineering Managers
Organize boxes under teams with role-based access. Track job pass rates and duration trends across your organization.
DevOps / Infrastructure
Register boxes with API keys, integrate with GitHub via the Stout App, and trigger hardware test workflows from CI with webhook and schedule triggers.
