# Best Service Discovery Software

  *By [Adam Crivello](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/adam-crivello)*

   Service discovery software helps automate the detection of services within a computer network. This type of software connects clustered containers to service providers by identifying their name, host, or link. Service discovery solutions allow applications within containers to communicate and integrate data with registered services. Connecting containers to microservices can help save development time by providing base-level code, which can allow companies to develop simpler, monolithic applications. Each microservice provides a piece of an application’s core functions. These are combined in the cloud, but interact independently. This allows new microservices to be added or removed without disrupting other components of the application’s functionality. [container management](https://www.g2.com/categories/container-management) and [container networking](https://www.g2.com/categories/container-networking) software can be used to facilitate and organize these connected services.

To qualify for inclusion in the Container Monitoring category, a product must:

- Provide a roadmap for connecting containers 
- Register available microservices for connection
- Link containers to services
- Track interacting components and facilitate link change

### 22. [Cortex](https://www.g2.com/products/cortex-io-cortex/reviews)
  Engineering organizations grow faster than their processes. Services multiply, ownership gets murky, and institutional knowledge walks out the door with every departure. Standards that made sense at 50 engineers break down at 500. When something goes wrong, teams spend hours figuring out who's responsible which delays fixing the problem. When leadership asks how engineering is improving, there's no reliable answer. Cortex is the Engineering Operations Platform that changes this. Know who owns what — Cortex automatically identifies service ownership across thousands of repositories, eliminating the manual work of tracking down who is responsible for what. Scale best practices — Self-service workflows let teams scaffold new services and provision infrastructure in minutes, ensuring every team follows the same standards by default. Measure and improve — Scorecards and Initiatives surface gaps, set benchmarks, and give teams a clear view of technical debt and what to fix next. Make smarter decisions — Engineering Intelligence brings DORA metrics, cycle time, incident trends, and the impact of AI adoption into one place. How Cortex works Cortex connects to your existing tools including GitHub, GitLab, Jira, PagerDuty, Kubernetes, Datadog, SonarQube, and more, and automatically maps your engineering ecosystem. Unlike platforms that require months of engineering investment to build and maintain, Cortex is designed to deliver value from day one. Who uses Cortex Cortex is built for the entire engineering organization. - Engineering leaders use Cortex to understand operational maturity, track standards, and measure impact across teams. - Platform and SRE teams use it to drive consistency, reliability, and automation through shared Scorecards and Workflows. - Developers use it to move faster with self-service golden paths, clear ownership, and real-time visibility into their services. Trusted by high-performing organizations including ASML, Canva, Blackstone, and Skyscanner.
