Catalog Customization: The New Benchmark for Software Catalogs

At OpsLevel, we believe a software catalog should be more than just a static inventory of services—it should be the dynamic backbone of your engineering ecosystem. The best catalogs don’t just organize information; they empower teams to move faster, stay aligned, and drive better outcomes through flexibility, automation, and accuracy.

Today, we’re setting a new standard for software catalogs. With OpsLevel’s Catalog Customization, your catalog becomes more than a knowledge center—it becomes a fully integrated command center. Custom widgets, flexible pages, and real-time data integrations ensure that every team has access to exactly what they need, when they need it, without the manual toil of constant upkeep.

Our Approach: What Good Looks Like in a Software Catalog

The modern engineering environment demands a catalog that is:

• Customizable: Tailored to fit the unique workflows, priorities, and architectures of your organization.
• Automated: Continuously powered by integrations to keep information fresh and accurate without added overhead.
• Extensible: Built to evolve with your team, allowing you to catalog and see everything from services and APIs to infrastructure and beyond.

This is where OpsLevel shines—bringing together the ease of out-of-the-box solutions with the depth of full customization.

What are table stakes for a best-in-class Software Catalog?

Built for Your Entire Ecosystem

OpsLevel’s extensible data model allows you to catalog anything with custom Component Types:

• Go beyond services and infrastructure to include APIs, databases, CI/CD pipelines, and more.
• Use custom component types to define and manage elements unique to your organization.
• Map relationships between components to gain a holistic view of your architecture.

Customization Without Complexity
