Atlassian Compass
Atlassian Compass is a developer experience platform that helps engineering teams understand, manage, and improve the health of their software components and services. It provides a centralized catalog of software components with scorecards, metrics, dependency tracking, and event ingestion to improve developer productivity and software quality. Compass exposes a GraphQL API for querying and mutating component data and a REST Operations API for integrations.

Features
Central catalog of all software components with metadata, ownership, and lifecycle tracking across teams.
Configurable scorecards that evaluate components against engineering standards and best practices to measure health.
Ingest build, deployment, incident, and vulnerability events from CI/CD pipelines and monitoring tools via webhooks and REST.
Track relationships and dependencies between software components to understand blast radius and system topology.
Extend component metadata with custom text, number, boolean, and user fields to capture team-specific data.
Build custom Compass apps using the Atlassian Forge platform with the GraphQL toolkit for deep platform integration.
Use Cases
Register and track all microservices, libraries, and software components with ownership and lifecycle metadata.
Create scorecards to measure and improve engineering standards like on-call coverage, documentation, and security posture.
Ingest deployment and incident events to track DORA metrics including deployment frequency and change failure rate.
Map dependencies between services to identify coupling, blast radius, and architectural debt.
Integrate Compass with internal developer portals and CI/CD pipelines for automated component registration and event tracking.
Integrations
Native integration with Jira for linking components to project tracking and incident management workflows.
Connect Bitbucket repositories to Compass components for automated code health and deployment event tracking.
Integrate GitHub repositories and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines with Compass component events.
Ingest PagerDuty incident events into Compass for on-call and incident tracking scorecard criteria.
