February Product Updates

It's been an exciting start to 2025, with a host of new features recently released to our customers -- all with the aim of helping engineering teams build and ship secure, high-quality code, faster.

With the introduction of custom Component Types, numerous new widgets, and the industry's most flexible IDP UI, it's never been easier to create an Internal Developer Portal tailored to your needs.

We've also made substantial investments in our integrations, making it simple to unify all the data your team needs to be more productive.

Last but not least, we've released the first of many improvements to our developer self-service capabilities, enabling more powerful automated workflows that help teams reduce friction in the SDLC and release faster. Read on to learn more!

Level up your Catalog with Components - now generally available (GA)

The Components release introduces a powerful new feature that enables users to define and create their own custom Component Types, helping you catalog anything – from APIs, to libraries, tools, and more. 

This enhancement provides greater flexibility and granularity when cataloging and organizing components within OpsLevel, enabling users to tailor the Component Types to their specific needs.

Customize the look and feel of each Component Type by selecting unique icons and colors, defining custom properties, and configuring custom pages.

References to Services in the application have been renamed to Components, with Services becoming a Component Type.

UI Customization & Widgets

Powerful new widget types help you customize your OpsLevel experience and make it even easier to provide visibility to the information that matters.

Add tabs, rearrange data, and organize information to match your team’s priorities, embedding and customization any widget in any tab.

• The Pie Chart Widget (beta) can aggregate and visualize data from a GraphQL Query as a pie chart.
• The Value Widget can display catalog information on your custom pages and dashboards. From code issues to deployment frequency and beyond, the powerful new widget can expose any single value (with CSS style overrides) from the OpsLevel GraphQL API.
• The Deploy Widget displays information about the most recent deployments for a service. You can view the deployment status for all environments on service, team, and dashboard pages.
• The Actions Widget enables triggering of a custom action from your service, team or dashboard pages.

New Integrations

Comprehensive, robust, and reliable integrations are essential to a successful IDP. Throughout 2024 and 2025, we’re making significant investments to expand and enhance our integration capabilities. Our goal is to ensure that the information you need is not only easily accessible, but also presented in a way that enhances your team's effectiveness.

• Our incident.io and FireHydrant integrations make it easy for anyone in your engineering organization to see real-time service status alongside the complete context of your service catalog.
• You can now import even more infra resources into your catalog:
  
  • AWS: Kinesis, MSK Cluster, ECS Tasks, ECS Service, EKS cluster, EKS node groups, EKS Fargate profile
  • GCP: BigTable Instance, Table and Cluster; BigQuery Dataset; Spanner Database and Instance
  • Azure: KeyVault Vault, Machine Learning Workspace, Container Service Managed Cluster, PostgreSQL Flexible Servers, API Management Service

Actions improvements help automate more complex workflows‍

• Actions can now reference catalog data from environments, teams, services, domains, and infra.
• Fields and default values can now be displayed conditionally based on user input.
• Dropdowns can be configured as multi-select.
