Developer self-service

Make the right way
the easy way

Don't live with TicketOps. When developers wait on platform teams to provision infrastructure or get access, everyone slows down. Now AI agents flood that queue faster. Cortex gives developers and agents golden paths to move fast, with best practices built in.

Self Service hero

Bottlenecks that were annoying at human speed break at agent speed

Every infrastructure ticket is time not spent building. When every team sets up services their own way, you get inconsistent configs, missing requirements, and environments that are hard to support. That sprawl was expensive at human speed. At machine speed, agents compound the gaps faster than any team can track.

Today

Manual setup, inconsistent configurations, and both developers and agents waiting on other teams, or worse, routing around them, to get to production.

With Cortex

Developers and agents spin up services, provision infrastructure, and complete complex tasks, through standardized workflows that enforce best practices automatically.

See self-service in action

Give developers and agents what they need to move fast, without creating risk

Cortex Workflows turn your best practices into self-service actions, so developers and agents spend less time waiting and more time building.

Turn any repeatable process
into a self-service workflow

Build standardized workflows for service scaffolding, infrastructure provisioning, access requests, and onboarding. Developers get one place to execute common tasks with confidence, and agents get the same golden paths to call directly.

Enforce standards from day one,
not as an afterthought

Every Cortex Workflow embeds your operational requirements directly into the process. New services are automatically cataloged, ownership is assigned, and compliance requirements are met before anything reaches production.

Create new service

Give leaders visibility without
adding process overhead

Self-service doesn't mean unsupervised. As developers and agents ship more, Cortex gives engineering leaders a real-time view of what's being built, who owns it, and whether it meets your standards.

How Archer saved 24h scaffolding new services

At Archer, infrastructure was provisioned manually, configurations were custom-built from scratch, and projects regularly could run 9-12 months with no clear answer on whether a service would be deployed.

With Cortex Workflows, they built a single standardized process covering scaffolding, infrastructure, deployment configuration, and cloud resources. Developers go from concept to deployed service in under 3 hours.

Why engineering organizations build self-service on Cortex

  • Launch new services & infra in hours, not days or weeks
  • Give agents and developers the same golden paths
  • Eliminate the most common developer requests to platform teams overnight
  • Ensure every new service meets your standards before it ever reaches production
  • Give leadership real-time visibility into what's being built and how

Give developers and agents what they need to move fast, without sacrificing standards.
