By Cortex - May 9, 2024 Production Readiness WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT PRODUCTION READINESS Every software team has some version of a production readiness checklist—some assortment of things they expect to happen before new software is released into the world. But have we lost the plot on what these lists were designed to achieve? To prevent? Deployments are now continuous, but our checklists are still frozen in time (and tools). It's time to rethink what we're doing here. By Ganesh Datta - May 2, 2024 Cortex on Cortex Catalogs HOW CORTEX USES CATALOG CUSTOMIZATION TO INCREASE VISIBILITY ACROSS PROJECTS For software tools to be “enterprise ready,” they need to be able to mold themselves seamlessly to the shifting needs of an enterprise-scale organization.

By Cortex - February 29, 2024 Development Developer Experience DORA metrics Engineering Intelligence WHAT ARE DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE METRICS? Developer productivity is often assessed retrospectively: if the team is hitting key metrics, we assume everything in the lifecycle before production is sound. But the best teams dig deeper, and aim to solve the problem backwards as well as forwards by looking at the process as well as the results. In this blog, we'll take a look at how a focus on Developer Experience can help.

In this blog we'll cover the origins of open source developer portals and catalogs, and how to decide what's right for you. By Cortex - November 13, 2023 Use Cases Feature Highlight CORTEX INITIATIVES: WHEN SCORECARDS NEED A DEADLINE Internal developer portals (IDPs) help drive standards of software quality and maturity, but that doesn’t have to mean a multi-quarter project. Make incremental progress on short- or long-term goals with Cortex Initiatives for Scorecards. By Fernando Cremer - November 9, 2023 Cortex Development WHAT IS AN INTERNAL DEVELOPER PORTAL? An Internal Developer Portal (IDP) is a central hub for tracking, improving, and building high-quality software. From services and APIs to Kubernetes clusters and data pipelines—IDPs abstract away the complexities of ensuring software security, maturity, production readiness, and more—all using data from your existing tools. By Lauren Craigie - November 2, 2023 Best Practice HOW DO YOU MEASURE SOFTWARE HEALTH? Improving the health of your services, APIs, data pipelines, and other software leads to fewer outages and frees developer time for feature work. In the third installment of our Scorecards deep-dive, we're sharing how Cortex makes tracking your software health easy with Scorecards and Initiatives. By Jeff Schnitter - November 1, 2023 SDLC WHAT IS AN INTERNAL DEVELOPER PLATFORM The last 5 years of software innovation has brought an explosion of architectural complexity designed to help teams ship faster, and more securely. Platform engineering teams have emerged to abstract away complexity for developers to do their best work, with a new category of tooling designed to do just that. Internal Developer Platforms (and Portals) have lofty value propositions but are still mired in confusion around attributes, owners, and outcomes. In this blog, we seek to provide a little more clarity across all. By Lauren Craigie - November 1, 2023 Best Practice HOW DO YOU MEASURE OPERATIONAL MATURITY?

By Jeff Schnitter - October 12, 2023 Best Practice INTERNAL DEVELOPER PLATFORM VS INTERNAL DEVELOPER PORTAL: SOLVING FOR A CENTRAL SYSTEM OF RECORD, AND ACTION Developer Portals and Platforms are gaining popularity amongst engineering leaders that want to reduce cognitive load for developers. But the lines between these categories are starting to blur, creating more confusion in engineering teams about where to start. Here's our take on how the two differ, which should come first, and why none of this will likely matter in another year... By Lauren Craigie - October 5, 2023 Best Practice THE CEO POCKET GUIDE TO INTERNAL DEVELOPER PORTALS Speed, efficiency, and security are top of mind for CEOs.

By Lauren Craigie - September 21, 2023 Use Cases BLOCKING DEPLOYMENTS WITH YOUR IDP Scorecards help you define standards for production readiness, but did you know you can also prevent services and resources from being deployed if they don’t match standards for security, reliability, testing, etc?. You just need an IDP like Cortex, and a connection to your favorite CI/CD provider. By Lauren Craigie - September 14, 2023 Best Practice WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE DEVELOPER PRODUCTIVITY DEBATE? Whether and how to measure software developer productivity is a frequent point of contention in the tech community. In this article, we discuss the latest thinking, so you can decide for yourself. By Lauren Craigie - September 7, 2023 Product Updates INTRODUCING CORTEX PLUGINS AND CUSTOMIZATION Future-proof your IDP with Cortex’s new plugin framework and UI customization. Bring data from anywhere, and extend the Cortex UI with embeddable JavaScript apps and widgets. Provide users with more context on services, resources, teams, and domains right where they need it most, without requiring them to switch between multiple applications. By Lauren Craigie - August 31, 2023 Best Practice ESTABLISHING A KUBERNETES COST MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Many organizations are making the switch to Kubernetes for the promise of greater speed, and reduced costs. But controlling spend requires close attention to what's happening in your services and resources. Cortex helps organizations keep costs in check with Catalogs, Scorecards, and Initiatives. By Lauren Craigie - August 16, 2023 Use Cases WHAT'S MISSING FROM YOUR INCIDENT MANAGEMENT WORKFLOW Incident management is hard enough without spending 30 minutes looking for the owner of a given service or resource. But it hasn't always been easy to surface this information. Internal Developer portals are helping companies slash MTTR with better communication paths and fully integrated experiences for devs and support teams.
