Service Creation

Don’t let the golden path slow you down.

BALANCE

Speed and standards

Creating a new service from scratch doesn’t need to hold up the development process or mean you ship slower than your competitors. With your specific standards baked into service templates, you can empower your team to move fast while staying compliant.

STREAMLINED

Say goodbye to bureaucracy

Help your team focus more on writing and shipping code and less time on ticket management. Service templates with guardrails and workflow triggers built-in means new services are created the right way, every time.

Certainty

Visibility from day zero

Not knowing what’s out there and who owns it can keep a DevOps team up at night. With developers creating services from templates in OpsLevel, platform leaders get visibility into new services as soon as they’re created.

Service Creation FAQs

How does Service Creation work under the hood?

Today Service Creation is based on the open-source Cookiecutter project. There are other templating tools or scaffolding generators that we may support in the future. Have one we should know about? Let us know.

Do developers need to install any tooling or require additional access to use Service Creation?

No, there is nothing for developers to install or maintain locally. They only need access to OpsLevel. Learn more about the benefits of Service Creation on our blog.

What languages or frameworks does Service Creation support?

Cookiecutter is entirely language agnostic. Templates can be defined to create new services of any kind.

How are templates defined and exposed in OpsLevel?

OpsLevel admins can import any Cookiecutter template into their OpsLevel template library. Template definition happens outside of OpsLevel, before a template is imported. Learn more in our docs.
