Biggest

⚙️ Custom Actions: A major milestone for developer self-service 🎉

‍Admins can now create, configure, and publish actions, so that developers can self-serve to complete core service ownership tasks. Popular choices we’ve seen customers introduce so far include provisioning an s3 bucket or Kafka topic so their teams can move faster.

Larges

🔎 Service Detection: Customers can build a complete service catalog in a matter of minutes, just by connecting their git provider.

Instead of having to create and push YAML service definitions to multiple repos, OpsLevel will scrape all of your linked repos for elements that meet our service criteria and pull them into your catalog for quick approval.

Mediums

OpsLevel now integrates with GitHub Enterprise, which means that as a GitHub on-prem user, you can connect and import your repos to OpsLevel directly.
In an effort to make our docs-as-code feature that much more helpful, you can now hide selected documentation with a single click.

Smalls

Alert sources are now programmatically linked to services via GraphQL API and YAML, so customers can now quickly create associations and view alert status on their Services page.

The Pain of Backstage Upgrades

Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) have become essential for engineering teams striving to deliver high-quality software quickly and efficiently. While Backstage, the open-source framework to build an IDP, from Spotify, is a popular choice for organizations building their own developer portals, it often comes with hidden costs and challenges that aren’t immediately apparent. At OpsLevel, we’ve experienced these pain points firsthand—and we’ve built a solution that lets teams focus on value instead of maintenance.

How To Maximize Engineering Efficiency with an Internal Developer Portal

When it comes to a competitive edge, speed and efficiency are everything. The quicker engineering teams can ship reliable, high-quality features, the more value they bring to the business. An internal developer portal (IDP) is a critical enabler in making this possible. By centralizing tools, resources, and processes, an IDP enhances workflows, streamlines collaboration, and empowers developers to be more autonomous.
