By default it offers you a few tools to better understand and manage your software landscape:

- you have all your micro services catalogues in one place, with a fairly decent data model (services are grouped into systems, they are owned by teams, they have declared dependencies on each other)

- you have documentation for each service that you can easily find

- you have a template catalogue that allows you to easily create new services. You need a full-stack app? Here, recommend option is Java + React, use this template. You need a new ML system? Here’s what you should use, click “create” and we’ll bootstrap it for you
