Nautobot is an open-source Network Source of Truth and Network Automation Platform built as a Django web application with PostgreSQL or MySQL. It provides extensible data models for IPAM, DCIM, circuits, and cables, plus REST APIs, GraphQL, Git integration, webhooks, and a plugin (App) system for building custom network automation applications.
Use cases
- manage IP addresses and subnets as a source of truth
- track data center devices, racks, and cabling
- build custom network automation apps on a platform
- integrate network data with automation tools via REST API or GraphQL
- load intended network state from Git repositories
- replace spreadsheets for network documentation
- aggregate multiple data sources into a single source of truth
When to choose
- you need a flexible, self-hosted network source of truth with IPAM and DCIM
- you want to build custom network automation apps with auth, permissions, and change logging built in
- you need REST APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, and Git-based data loading for network automation
- you are migrating from NetBox and want a more extensible plugin architecture
When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight IP address tracker without a full platform
- you cannot operate a Django application with PostgreSQL/MySQL and its infrastructure
- your needs are purely cloud resource inventory rather than network infrastructure
