The age-old question: Should you build or buy your developer tooling?

Looking for a tailored homepage for your team that focuses only on what matters most? The new Customizable Team Pages in OpsLevel allow you to bring data from your software ecosystem—and tool stack into one single pane of glass.

Getting services cataloged is crucial to gaining visibility into your software ecosystem, but it only tells part of the story. A catalog that only houses services is like having a manual for your car that only has 50% of the motor documented. To be prepared for outages, streamline operations, or reorganize your teams, you need the entirety of your software ecosystem visible in one place.

Microservices are great. They help you grow and scale your engineering organization by providing better isolation and independence to your engineering teams. But they come with a sinister cost: a sharp increase in complexity.

Explore these updates and integrate them into your workflows to optimize your operational efficiency and security.

Create checks to track package versions.

Looking to give team members more freedom without risking other services they don't own? We've added a brand new role within OpsLevel: Team Member. Now you can grant more access without losing sleep that someone might do the wrong thing.

All of the latest features and updates released in May.

Microservice architecture has become a staple in modern software development, known for its approach of breaking down applications into small, independent services that communicate with each other.

This article explores these challenges in depth, providing a richer perspective supported by data and examples that will help software architects, developers, and business stakeholders understand and navigate the complexities of this architecture.
