A DevOps framework for the SDLC that organizes and disciplines Nix code using Flakes to accelerate development.
Standard is a DevOps framework that leverages Nix and Flakes to structure and accelerate the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It solves the problem of disorganized Nix codebases by introducing a canonical folder structure and interfaces, enabling teams to maintain clarity and ship faster.
DevOps engineers, platform teams, and Nix users managing complex infrastructure or application deployments who need scalable and maintainable Nix configurations.
Developers choose Standard for its opinionated organization of Nix code, integrated ecosystem tooling, and intuitive CLI/TUI that make repositories actionable for entire teams, reducing tribal knowledge and speeding up development cycles.
A DevOps framework for the SDLC with the power of Nix and Flakes. Good for keeping deadlines!

Enforces a disciplined folder layout with Cells and Cell Blocks, transforming disorganized Nix code into navigable and maintainable repositories, as highlighted in the 'Cells & Cell Blocks' feature.
Curates high-quality Nix ecosystem tools like Numtide Devshell and Nixago, streamlining DevOps workflows without manual integration, as shown in the badges section of the README.
Uses std.grow to intelligently import Nix code, minimizing repetitive configuration in flake.nix files, demonstrated in the getting started example to keep setups lean.
Provides CLI and TUI that make repository actions intuitive, helping team members understand what they can do without deep Nix expertise, per the 'CLI & TUI' feature.
Exclusively built for Nix and Flakes, making it irrelevant for projects not using or planning to adopt Nix, as it offers no support for alternative DevOps stacks.
Requires understanding Standard-specific concepts like Cells and Cell Blocks on top of Nix's own complexity, which can be daunting and time-consuming for teams new to the framework.
As an evolving framework, it may undergo breaking changes; the README notes NixOS integration is a separate work-in-progress (hive), indicating ongoing development and possible instability.
