OpsLevel helps keep your services consistent and healthy through the use of various pre-built checks. But what if you want to write your own checks from scratch? You can now do that with OpsLevel custom checks. Our custom checks API opens up endless possibilities, allowing you to do things such as integrating with your deployment pipeline or container orchestrator, writing your own check scripts, and more.

Shifting to a microservice architecture comes with well-known benefits. Isolation between systems and teams means feature teams can iterate faster and the entire software engineering organization can scale with more efficiency and agility.

As the landscape of internal developer portals (IDPs) grows, many engineering teams are turning to platforms like OpsLevel and Cortex to manage services, enforce standards, and improve developer productivity. While Cortex presents itself as a robust solution for managing service catalogs and enforcing standards, its complexity, high costs, and manual processes often leave organizations searching for a better alternative.‍ In this article, we’ll compare OpsLevel against Cortex, highlighting why OpsLevel’s automated, flexible approach outperforms Cortex in critical areas like software catalog creation, standards enforcement, and developer productivity.

A deep dive into into the distinction between internal developer platforms and portals and how investing in both can boost software quality and developer productivity.
