Cortex Reviews & Product Details

Cortex is the AI-powered Internal Developer Portal that helps engineering leaders enforce reliability standards across every team automatically, so organizations can move fast without breaking things. Trusted by high-performing engineering organizations, Cortex provides a centralized, actionable system of record for service ownership, standards, and health. Cortex integrates seamlessly with your existing developer tools to give engineering leaders and teams real-time visibility and control across their service ecosystem. • Instantly identify service ownership with Cortex’s AI-powered ownership model, even across thousands of repositories. • Standardize and scale golden paths using Workflows to scaffold new services and provision infrastructure in minutes. • Enforce engineering best practices consistently with automated Scorecards and focused improvement Initiatives. • Drive better decisions and faster execution with real-time insights into service health and operational gaps. Our customers reduce incidents by 30%, MTTR by an average of 50%, and ensure that AI code doesn't compromise service quality. How Cortex works: Cortex unifies data across your services, teams, and developer tools to give engineering leaders and developers a shared, real-time view of what’s working and where improvements are needed. Using AI-powered analysis, Cortex identifies gaps, risks, and opportunities through automated Scorecards, targeted Initiatives, and integrated workflows. This creates a continuous improvement cycle where insights drive action, teams execute with confidence, and engineering standards and reliability improve over time. Who uses Cortex? Cortex is designed for the entire engineering organization, providing a shared system of record across roles. • Engineering leaders use Cortex to gain visibility into service health, track adherence to standards, and measure the impact of engineering initiatives across teams. • Platform and SRE teams rely on Cortex to drive consistency, reliability, and automation through shared Scorecards, Workflows, and standardized golden paths. • Developers use Cortex to move faster with self-service workflows, clear service ownership, and real-time insight into the health and dependencies of their services. By unifying systems, metrics, and standards in one place, Cortex gives every role a shared source of truth, enabling teams to ship reliable software faster and improve continuously with confidence. How does Cortex compare to other IDPs? Most internal developer portals focus on visibility alone. Cortex goes further by connecting service ownership, engineering standards, and performance data so teams understand not only what’s happening, but what actions to take. With built-in Scorecards, targeted Initiatives, and Engineering Intelligence, Cortex gives teams the context and tooling to close gaps and track progress. AI-powered insights, live reporting, and the Cortex MCP make it easy to measure impact, prioritize improvements, and continuously improve engineering outcomes. The result is an organization that moves faster while maintaining higher standards, stronger reliability, and greater operational consistency.
