What We Shipped In 2024

This year went by at lightning speed for us on the ProdDev team at OpsLevel. We like to think we ship a lot of value for customers every year, but 2024 was our most impactful year to date. The reason? We doubled our focus on customer value and investment in the product.

Looking back over the year, our big themes for customers were: Building more extensibility into the product, making onboarding and rollout easier than ever, and helping our champions prove the value of their work.

We made progress against each of these strategic initiatives, but here’s a quick overview of some of the bigger things we shipped against those goals.

Packages, Libraries, and Code Issues

We shipped Package Version Inventories to give teams better visibility and control over the software packages in use across their repositories. By automatically collecting SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials) and surfacing them in OpsLevel, teams can ensure all their code remains secure, up-to-date, and free from vulnerabilities.

Alongside this, we introduced Package Version Checks, a powerful way to enforce standards by verifying the presence (or absence) of specific packages and their versions. Whether you’re ensuring compliance or identifying deprecated libraries, OpsLevel helps you automate these checks at scale.

Custom UI & Reporting

We understand that no two teams or organizations are the same, so we invested in Custom UI Widgets to help customers tailor OpsLevel to their specific needs. Admins can now add, reposition, and customize widgets on team and service pages, allowing for bespoke dashboards that surface what matters most—whether it’s pull requests, GitHub issues, or custom embedded content.

With truly flexible widgets, we also wanted to give more control to our customers when it came to their dashboards. We released custom dashboards earlier this year giving users more power to see exactly what they care about most.  With custom dashboards, you can move around widgets on the page or remove them altogether. 

These customization features transform OpsLevel into a true developer homepage, consolidating tools, data, and insights into one place for maximum efficiency.

Improved RBAC: Team Member Role

Granular access control has been a growing need for our customers, especially as teams scale and expand their OpsLevel usage. This year, we introduced the Team Member Role, which simplifies permissions management by giving users just the right level of access. With this new role, team members can view and interact with OpsLevel without impacting critical configurations or settings.

This update makes it easier than ever to onboard more users while maintaining control and security.

Integrations

To maximize the power of features like Components and Package Checks, we knew we needed stronger out-of-the-box integrations. You could always create a custom integration yourself, but our philosophy has always been that a developer portal should do the hard work for you.

This year, we:

• Strengthened existing integrations like Snyk and SonarQube
• Launched new integrations to pull and push data seamlessly with partners like Incident.io, Azure, and Google Cloud(to name a few)
• Expanded our ecosystem to cover even more critical tools that engineering teams rely on

We’re committed to making OpsLevel the most connected developer portal out there and have a pretty long list of new integrations launching early next year.

Automation

While AI dominated headlines this year, we focused on leveraging intelligent automation to deliver tangible value to our customers. Earlier this year, we launched the OpsLevel Catalog Engine, a suite of features designed to build, enrich, and maintain an accurate internal developer portal with minimal effort.

Key highlights include:

• Automated Cataloging: OpsLevel integrates with your repositories and infrastructure sources, continuously enriching your catalog to keep your source of software truth accurate and trustworthy
• Filling in Missing Context: Missing metadata like service owners and descriptions are automatically enriched using generative AI, pulling from recent activity in your repos
• Intelligent Notifications: OpsLevel sends alerts for items requiring human review, ensuring your catalog is not only accurate but also trusted by your teams

By reducing friction and automating tedious processes, we’re helping teams focus on delivering value—not managing overhead.

Looking ahead

These are just a few big areas of investment at OpsLevel this year, but we’re far from done. In 2025, you can expect us to continue delivering on our promise of helping teams improve service ownership, standards, and visibility.
