Spotify Backstage: powerful but complex

Open source product offerings are not a silver bullet you can deploy and forget. You'll need a team to own and build your Backstage developer portal or service ownership catalog. This team will need a mix of skills revolving around operating, upgrading, patching, customizing, extending, and driving adoption of the platform. Don't waste SRE or Platform Engineering time on learning Typescript. Instead, simplify things and let OpsLevel do the work for you.

"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. But now you can just say go to OpsLevel to easily gather that information”

Mickey Wu

Architecture Engineering Manager

"Implementing OpsLevel was a frictionless process–the team was very friendly, proactive, and helpful. They met with us to discuss our specific needs and gave us recommendations so that we could get maximum value as quickly as possible."

David Goaté

Co-founder & Chief Architect

"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."

Yahel Agassi

Cloud Architect

"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

"OpsLevel was the only IDP that could impactfully move the needle on Developer Experience across our organization. With OpsLevel, we've been able to provide our engineering teams with centralized, reliable microservice metadata, and build automation and tooling that improves everyone's day-to-day."
