OpsLevel alternative — compare OpsLevel to Rely.io

Introduction

Choosing an internal developer portal is critical as it is one of the primary levers an organization has to improve the developer experience and drive a culture of engineering excellence. Here, we will take a look at the differences between Rely.io and OpsLevel to help you make an informed purchasing decision.

What does Rely.io excel at?

Rely.io is Kubernetes native and is designed from the ground up to allow developers to visualize, deploy, and operate, workloads in Kubernetes environments. Whether you are just beginning your migration journey or using advanced operators at scale, Rely.io is an excellent partner to help you define your golden path, improve developer productivity, and reduce your operational load.

Rely.io provides the out of the box views and experience necessary to drive a culture of engineering excellence. Be it conducting operational reviews, driving compliance with organizational scorecards, examining DORA metrics, or just aligning a common definition of good, Rely.io offers a portal that is designed with modern software development practices in mind.

Rely.io’s developer self-service center drives developer autonomy and reduces platform overhead for operators. We’ve built a developer portal focused on Kubernetes with developers in mind. In Rely.io, you’re able to operate services, manage deployments, and understand the context of your environment. Beyond just creating services, you can configure and execute pipelines, create and operate infrastructure resources, and create any customized action you believe your organization may need.

Why look for OpsLevel alternatives?

The OpsLevel data model is rigid and doesn’t offer a wide range of customization options. This results in a fixed data model with static entities, meaning that some use cases (K8s visibility for example), aren’t possible. Depending on the organization and their needs, this alone is a reason for OpsLevel replacement.

OpsLevel has limited support for self-service developer actions. It only supports synchronous self-service actions with HTTP webhooks, requiring endpoint setup and lacking API-triggered actions, TTL support, and manual approvals. These actions demand significant effort for full integration and there is no workflow automation support for portal updates or machine interactions with CI. Given this, it is difficult to integrate the service into the general software lifecycle.

OpsLevel has challenges with extensibility and adapting it to your environment which means users cannot integrate data from various environments seamlessly, leading to lack of confidence and trust in the data. This overhead, along with metadata saved using YAML, makes for a portal that is constantly lagging behind the organization.
