Ownership

Stop asking who owns what, or who's on-call

Never be surprised by orphaned software. Cortex auto-updates software ownership and on-call information by syncing with Identity Providers like Okta or Workday and Incident Management tools like PagerDuty.

Developer Self-Service

Empower devs to build better, and ship faster

Provide golden paths for bootstrapping new software. Use Actions to trigger no-code events like API calls, service deploys, or resource provisioning. Need more? Build custom experiences with our flexible Plugin framework.

Enterprise expertise

A trusted partner for every phase of your journey

Whether you’re focused on developer self-service, or just want to know who owns what, our team of experts is ready to accelerate your journey towards engineering excellence.

"Prior to Cortex, it was impossible to track what services aligned with best practices we defined. Incidents would be caused by assumptions that standards were followed—which was rarely true."

“Cortex was a critical piece of our Log4j mitigation effort. The ability to easily identify owners and correlate Snyk reporting really allowed us to focus on getting patched instead of managing spreadsheets and lists.”

"One of the biggest improvements we’ve seen since implementing Cortex is in our Mean Time to Restore—which we reduced by 67%. Being able to quickly find service information is a small operational change that has enormous impact.”
