Don’t take our word for granted, read our customers success stories
"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."
Javier de Vega Ruiz
Chief Software Engineer
"With Cortex, we’re not just managing services better; we’re fundamentally changing the way we work and collaborate to support the healthcare organizations who rely on us every day."
Franz Hemmer
Principal Software Engineer
“Cortex shaped how we deliver software. It gave us a foundation to move faster and build the right way from day one.”
Joshua Marble
Manager of Developer Experience
“Walk away from a spreadsheet for a minute, and it’s already stale. With Cortex, we never have that issue. I can just trust that information is always up to date, and we can leave devs alone that have already done what they need to do.”
Amanda Jackson
Technical Program Manager, Rapid7
"Cortex gives us the clarity and control we need to meet our goals without slowing down. It’s helped us move faster and build correctly from the start, and become an essential part of how we operate in a lot of different ways."
Sven Diebold
Manager of Platform Engineering
“We know if an engineer gets pulled out of what they’re doing, it takes 30 minutes to re-engage, Cortex lets us reduce noise and keep our team focused on the highest priority work.”
Shaun McCormick
Principal Software Engineer
A different kind of DevEx
Information access is the first step towards a positive developer experience. Cortex abstracts away the work required to connect all your tools so developers spend less time finding and fixing, and more time building—no matter how complex your platform gets.
A true engineering system of record
To ensure adoption, your IDP must model data in a way that matches business logic. Cortex does the heavy lifting of that process for you, while preserving the customization you need.
Always-on standards that stick
Passive software standards get ignored. Continuously assess software and teams for progress towards your ideal state. Build via GUI or GitOps—no custom scripts required.
Self-service that stays on the rails
Eliminate toil without losing track. Centralize developer workflows across other tools, and add one-click templates and approvals to keep gates from becoming bottlenecks.
