Cortex Reviews & Product Details

Cortex is the enterprise Internal Developer Portal built to accelerate the path to engineering excellence. Abstract away complexity for developers with a single interface for all their engineering tools, templates, and tasks. By providing a clear view into the health and state of every software component, Cortex helps engineering teams drive progress to goals, optimize productivity, reduce technical debt, and build efficient software and teams. Cortex unites data from all of your existing tools to: -Reduce time-to-find in onboarding as well as development and trouble-shooting -Ensure alignment to standards of excellence, and accelerate initiatives of quality and consistency -Abstract away effort once spent gathering context, searching for standards, and waiting in approval queues How does Cortex solve software ownership? Cortex’s fully custom software catalogs connect to identity providers like Okta, Google, and Workday to automatically track software ownership through team, title, and personnel changes. No more orphaned software means software stays in alignment with standards you define. How does Cortex help with production readiness? Cortex draws on data from all of your connected tools to drive alignment to any standard of production readiness you define. Set owners and SLOs, require runbooks and rollback plans, create caps for maximum vulnerabilities or tickets, or ensure connection to the latest code coverage and observability tools—all in one place. Turn standards into templates and workflows that make it easy to build and quick to deploy production ready software. And when code is updated, ownership changes, new tools are adopted, or old packages hit end-of-life, auto-alert owners of action needed to bring software back into alignment. How does Cortex help improve developer productivity? By centralizing the tools, templates, and tasks developers need to build healthy software, Cortex reduces context switching across applications, and eliminates rote work. Reduce time-to-find when onboarding or during an incident by automatically surfacing all relevant context from tools like Pagerduty, Git, Jira—or even homegrown sources and tools. Reduce fire drills with always-on standards of excellence that make it easy for devs to keep software perpetually secure and reliable. And get devs out of approval queues for common tasks like secrets allocation and service deployment. How does Cortex compare to other IDPs? Cortex is a fully featured Internal Developer Portal that has been uniquely designed to balance out of the box functionality like key integrations, live reports, and self-service actions, with complete control over your data sources, models, visualizations, and workflows. Fastest time to value coupled with ease of extensibility is a big reason why Cortex has won the trust of the greatest number of enterprise organizations.
