Thanks Roman.

Founder of OpsLevel here (https://www.opslevel.com).

A lot of companies build their own internal microservice tracking tools. Not just for release/deployments, but also for tracking service owners and production readiness.

e.g., Shopify has ServicesDB ([1]) and Spotify has System-Z [2], which they recently open sourced as Backstage [3].

If you're down to build / maintain your own service catalog, those are good places to start.

We started OpsLevel a few years back because we saw a pretty clear need for a product in this space. OpsLevel tracks your services and their owners, production readiness of your services, and brings together lots of event/metadata about your services (including deploys).

There's been a lot of traction in this space over the last few years with a lot of new companies popping up. I'm glad to see some of our newer friends in the space chiming in this thread.
