Learn how Cortex helps engineering organizations manage migrations and modernization—from moving on-prem systems to the cloud, to refactoring legacy services and adopting new architectures. Cortex provides the visibility, automation, and governance teams need to make complex migrations predictable, measurable, and faster. What you'll learn in this video.

This week on New Feature Friday, Senior Technical Writer Sally Stumbo walks you through two powerful additions to the Cortex docs: Solutions and Guides. These new sections are designed to help you move faster with clearer, end-to-end examples for real engineering use cases.

This year, Cortex users shipped faster, measured smarter, and proved what's possible when you give teams the right tools to understand their systems. Here's what 2025 looked like across the platform.

Learn how Cortex helps engineering organizations unlock AI excellence by measuring, standardizing, and improving how teams adopt and use AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude. Cortex enables organizations to mature their AI practices—not just adopt AI tools, but adopt them safely, consistently, and with measurable engineering impact. What you’ll learn in this video.

Discover how Cortex helps engineering organizations unlock AI excellence by building the strong, reliable foundation needed for safe and scalable AI adoption. Cortex goes beyond just giving developers access to AI tools; it ensures your teams are ready to use AI safely, reliably, and at scale. What You’ll Learn in This Video: With Cortex, teams gain visibility into engineering practices, track compliance across services, and create a repeatable framework for safe AI innovation. By automating accountability and enforcing standards, Cortex helps organizations adopt AI with confidence, not risk.

Discover how Cortex helps organizations unlock AI excellence by bringing structure, visibility, and governance to teams that are building AI and machine learning models. As companies scale their AI initiatives, Cortex becomes the single source of truth for all ML and AI assets, ensuring reliable versioning, ownership, compliance, and responsible AI practices. What you'll learn in this video.

Most teams treat AWS like a black box. Cortex turns the lights on. We now automatically ingest all your AWS resources—from Lambda to RDS—and map them to the services and teams that actually own them. Daily. Automatically. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. Scorecards help you enforce real standards (think: runtime upgrades, tagging hygiene, EOL migrations). Workflows help your engineers self-serve AWS resources without needing to be AWS experts.

This week on New Feature Friday, we’re highlighting two new releases that make it easier than ever to understand and improve your DORA performance: DORA Academy Course A guided learning experience that shows you how to use DORA Metrics and Cortex together to drive better engineering outcomes—without the data chaos. DORA Operational Readiness Scorecard An out-of-the-box template that benchmarks each service against DORA standards, giving teams an instant snapshot of where they stand and where to focus.

In this preview of his AWS re:Invent session, Cortex CTO & Co-Founder Ganesh Datta breaks down how AI coding assistants are transforming software development, and what high-performing teams are doing to keep speed and reliability in balance. You’ll learn: If you care about AI, engineering velocity, or building sustainable systems, this is a must-watch. Full Session: December 3 at 2:30 PM Learn more about Cortex: go.cortex.io/reinvent.
