The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
A Tour of Cortex
Get a guided tour of Cortex, the Engineering Operations Platform built to help teams improve operational maturity and reduce developer friction. This video covers the core features of Cortex: the Catalog, Scorecards, Initiatives, engineering metrics, and Workflows. Each one maps to the three things any great EngOps platform needs to do: provide clarity, drive improvement, and remove friction. Ready to see it in action?

QA, AI, and the return of the adversarial mindset
The best QA engineers are always asking themselves (and others around them) what might break. When engineering teams shifted to agile delivery, that mindset largely moved out of dedicated roles and into the background. Automated testing took over the repetitive work, developers owned quality end-to-end, and velocity improved. What didn't carry over was the habit of looking at a feature and asking how a real user, an edge case, or unexpected load might expose it.
Feature Friday: How to Track GitHub Copilot Adoption with Cortex Scorecards
Are you getting the most out of your GitHub Copilot investment? In this week's, Cortex Engineer Aaron Warrick demonstrates how to turn "AI adoption" from a buzzword into a measurable metric. Using the CQL (Cortex Query Language) Query Builder, you can now pull real-time GitHub Copilot data into your service maturity scorecards. In this video, we cover: How to use the new AI Tools Analysis in the CQL Query Builder.
Rob Zuber on quality, metrics, and what it means to move in the right direction at CircleCI
In this episode of Braintrust, Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Rob Zuber, CTO at CircleCI. Rob shares how the industry's move away from dedicated QA has cost teams more than they realize, and explains how AI is changing what good software quality actually looks like.
Feature Friday: Using Entity Relationship Types to Map the Perfect March Madness Bracket
Can an EngOps Platform help you win your family March Madness pool? It’s that time of year again, and the stakes are high. Despite watching hundreds of hours of basketball, we're tired of losing bets to a mom who barely follows the sport. This year, we’re leveling the playing field using Cortex. In this, we’re moving beyond microservices to show you the power of Entity Relationship Types. Watch as we take a chaotic tournament bracket and turn it into a structured, navigable engineering ecosystem.
What is operational excellence?
Engineering teams are great at innovating and delivering products, but the work that's required to maintain them over time and keep them running well tends to get deprioritized. Planning processes are designed to move features forward, not to catch whether those features are generating too many alerts, degrading in performance, or creating compliance exposure over time. As a result, that class of work accumulates quietly.
Always Audit Ready: Streamlining SOC 2 & ISO Compliance with Cortex
Stop dreading your next audit. If you’ve ever survived a SOC 2, ISO, or regulatory audit, you know the drill: weeks of manual data pulling, hunting for owners, and frantic spreadsheet updates. In this video, we show you how Cortex transforms compliance from a painful annual event into a continuous, automated process. What we cover: The "Audit Scramble" vs. "Always Ready": Why manual snapshots fail and how a living service landscape keeps you compliant 365 days a year.
