OpsLevel: Service Catalog and Engineering Effectiveness Platform
OpsLevel is a service catalog and Internal Developer Portal (IDP) that helps engineering teams standardize how software is built and operated. With AI-driven productivity metrics and production readiness scoring, it gives engineering leaders visibility into engineering effectiveness alongside developer self-service capabilities.
Service Catalog at the Core
OpsLevel's service catalog is the single source of truth for all software components — microservices, libraries, APIs, data pipelines, and infrastructure. Every service has an owner, a maturity level, and production readiness criteria that teams can track over time.
Key Features
- Service catalog: Centralized inventory of all software components with ownership
- Maturity levels: Track service production readiness across custom criteria
- AI productivity metrics: Engineering effectiveness insights powered by ML
- Self-service actions: Developer workflows for common operational tasks
- Checks and scorecards: Automated policy enforcement across all services
- Integrations: GitHub, PagerDuty, Datadog, Jira, AWS, Kubernetes, and more
- Dependency mapping: Visualize relationships between services
