The new funds will accelerate development of the Cortex platform, which enables engineering leaders and site reliability engineers to move beyond manual processes to gain visibility and control of rapidly expanding microservices.

"But microservices proliferation has side effects: engineering and SRE leaders are challenged to track what services exist, how they depend on one another and what their quality is. The Cortex platform puts all that information at their fingertips, and makes it easy to launch team-wide initiatives to improve service quality."

The Cortex Reliability as Code platform is designed to automatically score services against best practices, migrations and SLOs.

Each integration includes individual rules that enable users to drill down into specific metrics to grade the quality of their services via customizable "Scorecards." This enables development of production readiness checklists, security audits and evaluations of operation and development maturity.

Cortex Query Language, a domain-specific language, lets users write granular rules about health of deploys, SLOs, on-call rotations, security vulnerabilities, package versions and more, such as, "If the service is a production service, then there must be an on-call rotation and greater than 85% test coverage." This enables engineering and SRE leaders to track and enforce service quality across the entire engineering organization.

Cortex messages service owners over Slack or email with their action items, which engineers can also see when they login to the Cortex dashboard.
