Used For

• +**Nobody knows who owns the payment service that's been failing for 3 days** → Auto-mapped ownership with real-time on-call info via Slack bot
• +**Developers rebuild existing APIs because they can't find what already exists** → Searchable catalog shows all internal services, docs, and dependencies in one place
• +**Production readiness is a manual checklist that gets skipped under pressure** → Automated scorecards track security, monitoring, and deployment standards continuously
• +Multi-step project templates - spin up new services with repos, code generation, and approvals in a few clicks
• +DORA metrics dashboard - track deployment frequency and incident recovery times without spreadsheet hell

Best For

• >Your developers waste hours hunting down service owners through Slack archaeology
• >You have 100+ microservices and incidents turn into detective work
• >Manual production readiness checklists that everyone ignores until something explodes

Not For

• -Teams under 50 engineers - you're paying enterprise prices for microservice problems you don't have yet
• -Companies wanting plug-and-play simplicity - this needs someone who understands your service architecture
• -Anyone hoping for transparent pricing - it's all 'contact sales' and custom enterprise deals

Pairs With

• *PagerDuty (shows who's actually on-call when services break at 3am)
• *GitHub (pulls repo info and deployment history automatically)
• *Slack (where the /cortex bot saves you from service ownership detective work)
• *Workday (syncs org charts so you know who reports to whom)
• *Jenkins (triggers deployments through the self-service workflows)
• *Datadog (displays service health metrics in the catalog)
• *Jira (creates tickets automatically when scorecards fail)

The Catch

• !No public pricing means you're in for the enterprise sales dance with custom quotes
• !Requires API access to all your engineering tools - if your security team locks everything down, this gets complicated
• !The value scales with complexity - simple architectures won't justify the enterprise-level investment

Bottom Line

The control tower for engineering chaos - finally know who to blame when services go down at 2am.
