At
Cortex
, we’re on a mission to usher in the next era of software engineering.
Software is eating the world – as every company becomes a software company, the way we build software is due for a transformation.Modern architectures are complex – every product has hundreds of components, including microservices, batch jobs, and data pipelines. As engineers, we waste countless hours updating spreadsheets, digging through confluence pages when we're paged at 2am, and trying to grok services named after Game of Thrones characters.Engineering leaders are in the dark about the quality of the software their teams are building and where they should be investing.We think it’s time to empower engineering teams to focus on building and make it easier to create reliable, high quality software.
