Product Updates
- March has been a particularly busy month at Rely with the introduction of no less than five major features.
- With these latest releases, Engineering teams get more out-of-box value (default Dashboards, Automation Rule) while also unlocking more customization to make sure your Rely portal best reflects your specific needs.
Build use case-specific views thanks to Dashboards
- Thanks to Rely’s no-config plugins and customizable Data Model, your Software Catalog can already collect and centralize everything your teams care about (documentation, ownership, dependencies, etc.)
- Because the work of troubleshooting Deployment issues is different than onboarding new engineers or solving production incidents, each use case deserves it’s dedicated view.
- With the introduction of Dashboards, you can now tailor how your Software Catalog presents its content.
- This first release comes with out-of-the-box views we already created for your Services and Teams.
- From now on all stakeholders in your company can find the most important information about each Service and Team thanks to dedicated views like Home, CI/CD, Observability and more.
- The default views do not fit your content? You can fully customize them or build your own from scratch with drag & drop widgets.
- Dashboards are available now for all users.
Implement and track the adoption of standards with Scorecards
In your catalog is sitting a trove of data that can inform you on many operational aspects of your Services and the Teams running them.
- How performant are they?
- How often are they shipping?
- What’s the failure rate?
- Are they meeting their SLOs?
- Have they started at least instrumenting any performance metrics?
- With Scorecards, you can now start tracking key metrics (e.g. DORA, SPACE, etc.) and set targets on them so as to drive incremental adoption.
- In this first release, you can create your Scorecards with three different Ranks: Bronze, Silver & Gold with gradually increasing requirements in each.
- Scorecards are available for beta testers. Want to try it early? Request access now!
Take control over your ingested data with Automation Rules
- As your engineering organization grows, so does your dev tool set.
- As a result, you can find unique entities (e.g. a Service) being referenced in many different tools (e.g. this Service can be also found in Github, Datadog, Pager Duty, etc.).
- Each one of these tools says something new or overlapping with the others.
- Which one then should serve as the source of truth, over which aspect of the Service?
- With Automation Rules you get control over which plugin will update which property in your Data Model (in Services, Resources, Deployment, Running Services or any custom Blueprint you created).
- This release also includes out-of-the-box rules for our Plugins that you can freely enable/disable or entirely edit.
- Automation Rules are available now for all users.
Empowering Developers with Self-Service Actions
- Your developers often interrupt their flow to request specific actions from the Platform or Infra teams in order to unblock their work.
- They may need to provision a new test environment, adjust the configuration of the Kubernetes cluster to fit the incoming release or even scaffold entirely new projects.
- With Self-Service Actions, your Platform Team can offer a catalog of pre-vetted and pre-configured actions that will give developers autonomy and standardization for their daily operations.
- In this release, you can execute calls to your Webhooks or APIs and simplify tasks such as:
- Start or stop pipelines in your Git provider
- Manage resources configuration in your Orchestration tool
- Create or update tickets in your Incident Management tool
- Enable autonomous back-office operations for your Product or Sales engineering teams
- Self-service Actions are available for beta testers. Want to try it early? Request access now!
Unblock engineers and maintain trust with Audit Logs
- Your Software Catalog, Scorecards, Automation Rules, and Self-Service Actions are essential elements to your portal.
- They are especially valuable when put in the hands of your developers so they can tailor the platform to their needs and confidently adopt it.
- Whether it comes down to debugging your data flows or investigating changes in your catalog, it is key to have visibility on who or what performed updates to the catalog.
- With Audit Logs developers can keep iterating in full transparency and quickly get answers to questions like:
- When did this plugin last run a fetch?
- Which automation rule updated my Service definition?
- Who created this new custom blueprint?
- In this release, Audit Logs have been implemented for all operations (both via UI and API) and can be consulted both in a new dedicated menu and under an entity’s page.
- Audit Logs are available now for all users.
The latest plugins to effortlessly fill your catalog
On the horizon
Features like:
- Scorecard Leaderboards to track each standard you care about its adoption and progress across all Services.
- Suggestions for Automation Rules so you can review the output of your rules before they are committed to your catalog.
- Out-of-the-box Pipeline and Workflow actions with the Gitlab & Github plugins and Scaffolding Actions for your developers to build with autonomy and confidence.
- New Widgets for the Dashboards (Pipeline, Timeline, Pie Chart, etc.) to unlock new views for your use cases.
Plugins for:
- PagerDuty
- OpsGenie
- Incident.io
