Standardization

More software, more problems? Software is eating the world and that means more people and teams are developing software. To stay current and competitive, modern organizations are scaling their software engineering teams.

Our software ecosystems grow more complex every year. With new frameworks, dependencies, and technologies to help automate or simplify every step of the development life cycle, keeping track of requirements that provide reliability and security can become difficult. And that’s why production readiness reviews and checklists help eliminate cognitive load. They let you focus more on features or potential failure points.

Engineering initiatives are a necessity when it comes to ensuring security, reliability, and keeping the lights on within an organization. These can include actions such as upgrading library versions, migrating everyone to a new metrics provider, or upgrading a framework.

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.

With our Git Repository integration, OpsLevel can continuously scan your code repositories and verify all of the operational best practices you’ve defined. Previously, we’ve shown you a Repo File Check, which can be used to verify that a given file exists in your repo, or verify that it contains some specific text.

After setting up a Git Repository Integration, OpsLevel can continuously scan your code repositories and verify all of the operational best practices you’ve defined. Along with the integration comes two new checks: the Repo File Check and the Repo Search Check.

OpsLevel has become a lot more powerful with the addition of our newest features: Checks and Checklists. Now you can actually codify your best-practices around building and operating microservices and then view how these practices are being followed across your entire architecture.

OpsLevel has a feature where it allows you to define what “tier” each of your services are. This feature has started some good conversations and encouraged many of our alpha users to ask themselves: “What tier are our services, anyway? And what’s in a tier, really?”

We here at Team OpsLevel have been busy and are proud to announce our newest feature: reports. With reports, it’s easy to see the health of your teams and services at a glance.
