Cortex: Opinionated, Configurable Internal Developer Platform

An Intellyx Brain Candy Update

When we last spoke with Cortex in February 2022, the company offered an observability platform for engineering collaboration.

Today, the company has expanded its capabilities past observability, as it has thrown its hat into the crowded platform engineering space with an internal development platform (IDP).

Platform engineering offerings run the gamut from platforms for building IDPs to spec to opinionated IDPs that customers can deploy directly. Cortex falls into the latter category.

As an IDP, Cortex takes an opinionated view about how best to execute CI/CD tasks and workflows. That being said, the platform can integrate with a variety of DevOps tools and supports customization by platform engineers.

Cortex’s platform capabilities include catalogs, scorecards, initiatives, scaffolding, workflows, and plugins.
