"You can put this on a billboard: OpsLevel has helped us manage our microservice sprawl. I'm a lot less concerned about reliability than I was before. It’s hands-down one of my favorite tools.”

Kelvin

Senior Engineering Manager, Platform Operations

"We’ve tried spreadsheets, Backstage, custom-built scorecard software, etc. None of them did everything we wanted, but OpsLevel finally built the tool that’s helping us meaningfully improve our ownership and service quality."

Ben Johnson

SVP, Engineering

"We didn’t want to choose a solution where we would have to manually enter information for each of our 40 microservices. So when I saw the OpsLevel Kubernetes Syncer, I knew that I would just have to do the work once, because they would all be in Kubernetes and tagged the same way."

Alex Ianus

Engineering Manager, Infrastructure

"In addition to deprecating legacy tech, OpsLevel has also helped push infrastructure projects across the company. We were able to map out what services were missing, as well as get a status of each service. Using checks to track down legacy services, we were able to upgrade them to be compatible with the rest of our technology stack."

Maciej Sobkowiak

Principal Site Reliability Engineer

"We didn’t need to already have a full inventory of our services to use OpsLevel, which would've actually been a bit of a problem considering where we were coming from. Having a tool that could help us fill in missing information excited us."

Shawn Wowk

Manager of Development Operations

“We had no solution to catalog all our services, so we didn’t know who owns what or which services are actually out there unless you go poking around in their repositories on GitHub.”

Mickey Wu

Architecture Engineering Manager

"OpsLevel is a crucial tool for our engineering and data science teams - tracking what’s out there, who owns it, and if it’s meeting our standards. We use it in our org-wide ops review meetings to quickly understand how teams are managing their applications from a testing, reliability, and security standpoint."
