From Data to Insight to Action

Engineering excellence starts with visibility but it’s realized through action. Cortex gives engineering leaders a complete feedback loop: transforming data into insights that drive measurable improvements across teams, services, and initiatives.

01

Understand your data

Unify information from across your stack, deployments, incidents, vulnerabilities, and more, into a single, reliable source of truth for your engineering organization.

02

Unlock insights

Surface AI-driven trends, risks, and opportunities automatically. Cortex highlights what’s driving velocity, reliability, and AI maturity so you can focus on what moves the needle.

03

Drive action

Translate insights into measurable impact with Scorecards, initiatives, and workflows. Cortex ensures accountability across teams and tracks real progress toward your engineering and business goals.

Amanda Jackson

Technical Program Manager, Rapid7

“Walk away from a spreadsheet for a minute, and it’s already stale. With Cortex, we never have that issue. I can just trust that information is always up to date, and we can leave devs alone that have already done what they need to do.”

Hariprasad Babu

Manager Technology

“Cortex gets rid of the repetitive manual work so you can focus on the innovative feature development that drives real value.”

Sven Diebold

Manager of Platform Engineering

"Cortex gives us the clarity and control we need to meet our goals without slowing down. It’s helped us move faster and build correctly from the start, and become an essential part of how we operate in a lot of different ways."

Egor Kalinichev

Engineering Manager

"This is the angle we look at Cortex from right now. We can utilize it so much more and improve the developer experience so much more. So that's what we're going for."

Javier de Vega Ruiz

Chief Software Engineer

"One of the biggest improvements we've seen since implementing Cortex is in our Mean Time to Restore- which we reduced by 67%. Being able to quickly find service information is a small operational change that has enormous impact."

Joshua Marble

Manager of Developer Experience

“Cortex shaped how we deliver software. It gave us a foundation to move faster and build the right way from day one.”

Shaun McCormick

Principal Software Engineer

“We know if an engineer gets pulled out of what they’re doing, it takes 30 minutes to re-engage, Cortex lets us reduce noise and keep our team focused on the highest priority work.”

Nick Raccioppi

Engineering Leader

"With custom plugins in Cortex, developers don’t need to wait for infrastructure configurations anymore. It’s fully automated."

Franz Hemmer

Principal Software Engineer

"With Cortex, we’re not just managing services better; we’re fundamentally changing the way we work and collaborate to support the healthcare organizations who rely on us every day."
