Stop relying on hope as a production readiness strategy. Whether it’s Black Friday, tax season, or a major product launch, engineering leaders need to know—with 100% certainty—if their systems can handle the load. In this video, Becka demonstrates how Cortex replaces manual, time-consuming readiness reviews with a continuous, automated framework. What we cover: The Readiness Gap: Why manual self-reporting and static spreadsheets fail during high-traffic periods.

Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Boyan Dimitrov, CTO at SIXT. Boyan shares how SIXT went from releasing software once or twice a month to nearly 10,000 deployments per month, and explains the platform engineering philosophy that made it possible.

Stop squinting at data and start driving engineering excellence. In this week’s Feature Friday, Christine from the Cortex Product Team introduces the all-new Birdseye Report (now in private beta). See how to master your engineering standards at scale. We’ve redesigned Birdseye to give you a true "top-down" view of scorecard performance across your entire organization—from the CTO level down to a single service.

Stop digging through tabs and explaining your role to your tools. In this Feature Friday, we’re unveiling 'My Workspace' for the Cortex MCP, designed to give you instant, personalized identity the moment you start your day. Before today, you had to manually fetch data from Jira, GitHub, and internal docs just to figure out your priorities. Now, you can simply ask, "What should I work on this week?" and get a parallel, high-speed pull of your entire ecosystem.

Learn how Cortex helps engineering organizations manage migrations and modernization—from moving on-prem systems to the cloud, to refactoring legacy services and adopting new architectures. Cortex provides the visibility, automation, and governance teams need to make complex migrations predictable, measurable, and faster. What you'll learn in this video.

This week on New Feature Friday, Senior Technical Writer Sally Stumbo walks you through two powerful additions to the Cortex docs: Solutions and Guides. These new sections are designed to help you move faster with clearer, end-to-end examples for real engineering use cases.

This year, Cortex users shipped faster, measured smarter, and proved what's possible when you give teams the right tools to understand their systems. Here's what 2025 looked like across the platform.

Learn how Cortex helps engineering organizations unlock AI excellence by measuring, standardizing, and improving how teams adopt and use AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude. Cortex enables organizations to mature their AI practices—not just adopt AI tools, but adopt them safely, consistently, and with measurable engineering impact. What you’ll learn in this video.

Discover how Cortex helps engineering organizations unlock AI excellence by building the strong, reliable foundation needed for safe and scalable AI adoption. Cortex goes beyond just giving developers access to AI tools; it ensures your teams are ready to use AI safely, reliably, and at scale. What You’ll Learn in This Video: With Cortex, teams gain visibility into engineering practices, track compliance across services, and create a repeatable framework for safe AI innovation. By automating accountability and enforcing standards, Cortex helps organizations adopt AI with confidence, not risk.
