Empower developers with standardized, self-service workflows
Cortex Workflows enable developers to follow golden paths for creating new services, onboarding infrastructure, requesting resources, and more. By standardizing complex workflows across teams and tools, Cortex increases developer velocity and efficiency while ensuring best practices every time.
Build golden paths in 3 simple steps
Empower teams to define best practices, turn them into one-click workflows, and put developers in control without adding process overhead.
Define golden paths
Identify repeatable tasks that should be standardized across teams to drive consistency and quality.
Build workflows
Use our built-in, integration-aware block library and drag-and-drop orchestrator to easily and quickly assemble powerful multi-step workflows, no custom code required.
Execute with confidence
Publish workflows where developers need them, enabling fast, compliant self-service while keeping teams aligned to standards.
Use Cases
From spinning up new services to managing infrastructure and incident response, Cortex Workflows give your teams the power to turn best practices into repeatable, self-service golden paths – no bottlenecks, no guesswork.
Scaffold new services
Create and spin up new services based on approved templates that enforce standards from day one – automatically cataloged, owned, and visible across your engineering organization.
Manage infrastructure resources
Explore how time is spent across teams and projects to identify inefficiencies like overburdened teams, long queue times, or slow handoffs. Then act on those insights by setting benchmarks, tracking improvements, and making data-informed changes to how work flows.
Streamline developer onboarding
Standardize access requests for tools, repos, or environments so new engineers ramp up fast and are productive from day one.
Run incident management workflows
Enable engineers to self-serve common incident tasks, including rollback deployments, scaling pods, or coordinating response steps, with clear approvals and context.
Build any custom workflow
Bring all your processes into Cortex and design flexible workflows for any repeatable task, across teams, tools, and stakeholders.

Developer self-service made easy with Cortex Workflows
Workflows are at the heart of building great developer experiences, ensuring alignment to standards, and moving faster. By orchestrating interactions across multiple tools, workflows guide teams along a clear, consistent path to production, approvals, and more, creating “Golden Paths” across the organization.
Faster Incident Response with Cortex: A Before and After Story
The most time-consuming part of incident resolution is a data problem. Who owns this service? What's it made of? What are the dependencies? Where are the run books? Learn how Cortex cuts incident response time and prevents new issues with up-to-date ownership, reliable runbooks, and Scorecards that drive continuous improvement.
