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.

A microservice catalog is only as good as the data it contains. OpsLevel is making it easier than ever to keep your service list up-to-date with its new Service Suggestions feature. With Service Suggestions, we automatically discover new services when they get deployed and help you add them to OpsLevel. For services that are already in OpsLevel, we can also help you easily attach those deployment streams to the right service.

Don’t you hate remembering all of your passwords? With OpsLevel’s Single Sign-On integration all of your microservice data is seconds away without the need for another long and secure password.

OpsLevel is a fantastic source of truth for all of the information around the microservices in your architecture, including all the tools you use to operate each of your microservices. But it’s not always the easiest to find and discover this information when you really need it - say during a major incident, or during a gameday.

So, OpsLevel is cool and all, but you know what’s not cool? Clicking around in a UI whenever you want to change some of the properties of a service. Well click no longer! Now, with our Git Repository Integration, all you need to do is to plunk down an opslevel.yml file at the root of one of your repositories and OpsLevel will use that to populate the corresponding service on OpsLevel’s side. (If the repository isn’t already mapped to a service, OpsLevel will create a new one.)

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.

You likely use a myriad of cloud-based tools to operate your services. At OpsLevel, part of our master plan is bringing various data points from all of these tools to help you gain insights and build more reliable software. We’re proud to announce our latest step on this journey with our new Github and Bitbucket integrations.

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.
