Last summer, our team gathered in the woodland heart of Parry Sound, Ontario for the inaugural OpsLevel HackDay. For 24 hours, participants were given total creative freedom while being tasked with creating a demo-able, team-based project. Skills were sharpened, bonds were strengthened, and marshmallows were roasted - it was a blast.

Pranav Krishnan is a Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo. I first started working at OpsLevel in May 2019 and it was my first ever co-op experience. I was extremely nervous, with no clue what to expect. Fast forward almost a year later and I find myself struggling with the idea of leaving this company behind.

OpsLevel is a great place to work. I love the product, the values…the snacks, but most importantly, the people. Our team isn’t large, but our size makes us extremely tightly knit. We eat lunch together, play lunchtime foosball, chat about things like kids and mortgage rates, and play after work video games (mostly Rocket League) almost every day.

A microservice catalog is only as good as the data it contains. OpsLevel is making it easier than ever to keep your service list up-to-date with its new Service Suggestions feature. With Service Suggestions, we automatically discover new services when they get deployed and help you add them to OpsLevel. For services that are already in OpsLevel, we can also help you easily attach those deployment streams to the right service.

Don’t you hate remembering all of your passwords? With OpsLevel’s Single Sign-On integration all of your microservice data is seconds away without the need for another long and secure password.

OpsLevel is intended to be your source of truth for microservice and ownership information. Today, we’re very excited to announce that we’ve taken a leap forward towards that vision with the launch of our GraphQL API.

Services and repositories come in many shapes and sizes. You can fully extend OpsLevel’s data model to fit your needs by tagging your services and repositories with key/value pairs. With our Tags feature, OpsLevel can track additional or custom attributes, as well as allow you to search and filter by these attributes.

OpsLevel is your one-stop shop for understanding the microservices you have running in your architecture. A key component to understanding your microservices is to actually see what code is running in production, and when/how that changes.

OpsLevel just completed its inaugural HackDays and company getaway. We all piled into a few cars and drove up to a beautiful cottage near Parry Sound, Ontario. Surrounded by some of Canada’s best scenery of trees, lakes, and trails, we first set about for 24 hours of programming. Given our geography, we thought about calling the event “Hack the North”, but that name is taken, so “OpsLevel HackDays” it is.
