FAQs

Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) are the engineering system of record. They use connection to all tooling to provide golden paths for new software builds, and ensure continuous alignment to standards of excellence.

From services and APIs to Kubernetes clusters and data pipelines—IDPs eliminate “swivel chair” for devs by centralizing the information they need to build, deploy, and maintain healthy software. LetsGetChecked, BigCommerce, and Grammarly see results like decreased incident frequency and duration, and increased in deployment velocity with Cortex's IDP

You have lots of tools for developing software, and likely many more to ensure the health of that software. But despite having an abundance of data, it’s harder than ever to answer questions that require inputs from multiple sources—including who owns what, what it’s made of, and what needs to happen to ensure alignment to standards of readiness and excellence. This has led to longer ramp time, slower deployments, and more incidents that take longer to resolve. Cortex unites data from all of your existing tools to:

  1. Reduce time-to-find in onboarding as well as development and trouble-shooting
  2. Ensure alignment to standards of excellence, and accelerate initiatives of quality and consistency
  3. Abstract away effort once spent gathering context, searching for standards, and waiting in approval queues

To learn more about how an IDP can help your team, take a look at our blog post: What is an Internal Developer Portal?

Cortex’s fully custom software catalogs connect to identity providers like Okta, Google, and Workday to automatically track software ownership through team, title, and personnel changes. No more orphaned software means software stays in alignment with standards you define.

To learn more about driving software ownership at your organization, check out this blog.

Cortex draws on data from all of your connected tools to drive alignment to any standard of production readiness you define. Set owners and SLOs, require runbooks and rollback plans, create caps for maximum vulnerabilities or tickets, or ensure connection to the latest code coverage and observability tools—all in one place. Turn standards into templates and workflows that make it easy to build and quick to deploy production ready software. And when code is updated, ownership changes, new tools are adopted, or old packages hit end-of-life, auto-alert owners of action needed to bring software back into alignment.

To see this firsthand, check out the Cortex Production Readiness Tour!

By centralizing the tools, templates, and tasks developers need to build healthy software, Cortex reduces context switching across applications, and eliminates rote work. Reduce time-to-find when onboarding or during an incident by automatically surfacing all relevant context from tools like Pagerduty, Git, Jira—or even homegrown sources and tools. Reduce fire drills with always-on standards of excellence that make it easy for devs to keep software perpetually secure and reliable. And get devs out of approval queues for common tasks like secrets allocation and service deployment.

Backstage is a framework for building internal developer portals. As such, It requires dedicated resources to stand up, build and test integrations/plugins, and support engineers through troubleshooting and use case expansion.

Cortex is a SaaS IDP with 50+ pre-built integrations, the ability to overlay custom and continuous software scoring, self-service actions, and a mechanism for alerting when software requires attention—all things you need to increase adoption and reduce maintenance time. Plus, you can customize your experience with our industry-first plugin framework.

If you're trying to avoid pulling engineers away from their core work, but still looking for the same flexibility, Cortex's Internal Developer Portal is where you should start. For more details, check out our Cortex vs Backstage comparison page.
