Having strong ownership of your microservices and other running systems is an important pre-requisite to building a DevOps culture. But focusing solely on ownership of services running in production can leave some gaps. There’s a lot of code living outside of any service’s codebase: libraries, internal tools, templates, terraform code, and a lot more. All of these repositories need ownership too.

OpsLevel contains a ton of information about your technical services and systems, but it doesn’t contain all of the information about your business. Fortunately the data in OpsLevel isn’t trapped there! In addition to our existing GraphQL API, we now support extracting all of your OpsLevel data into your ETL pipeline and data warehouse.

We all know that naming things is one of the two hardest problems in computer science (along with cache invalidation and off-by-one errors.) Naming your microservices is extra hard, as they’re almost like children: they’re practically these living, breathing things that you birth into the world and do your best to make sure they’re set up for success in life (i.e. in production.) Ok, perhaps people don’t agonize over the names of their microservices as much as the names of their children, but it’s still a big enough decision.

A microservice catalog is only as good as the data it contains. OpsLevel is making it easier than ever to keep your service list up-to-date with its new Service Suggestions feature. With Service Suggestions, we automatically discover new services when they get deployed and help you add them to OpsLevel. For services that are already in OpsLevel, we can also help you easily attach those deployment streams to the right service.

Don’t you hate remembering all of your passwords? With OpsLevel’s Single Sign-On integration all of your microservice data is seconds away without the need for another long and secure password.

OpsLevel is intended to be your source of truth for microservice and ownership information. Today, we’re very excited to announce that we’ve taken a leap forward towards that vision with the launch of our GraphQL API.

Services and repositories come in many shapes and sizes. You can fully extend OpsLevel’s data model to fit your needs by tagging your services and repositories with key/value pairs. With our Tags feature, OpsLevel can track additional or custom attributes, as well as allow you to search and filter by these attributes.

OpsLevel is your one-stop shop for understanding the microservices you have running in your architecture. A key component to understanding your microservices is to actually see what code is running in production, and when/how that changes.

OpsLevel is a fantastic source of truth for all of the information around the microservices in your architecture, including all the tools you use to operate each of your microservices. But it’s not always the easiest to find and discover this information when you really need it - say during a major incident, or during a gameday.
