Summary

Mercek is a desktop IDE for Amazon ECS that provides developers with a graphical interface to inspect logs, run interactive shell sessions on containers, and view task details like environment variables and network configuration. It uses existing AWS credentials, works across accounts and regions, and keeps all data local without sending anything to external servers.

Open a service to tail its CloudWatch logs in the bottom panel — every task at once or just one — with a text filter, log-level highlighting, and copy or download of what you're looking at.
Drop into an interactive shell on a running container when you need one.
You can also read a task's full environment, with secrets shown as ARNs instead of values, and its network details: the ENI, IP addresses, security groups, subnet, and VPC.
It uses your existing AWS credentials, works across all your accounts and regions, and never sends anything to a server.
