Platform engineering
A living catalog—not a wiki that went stale in 2022
Exemplar's software catalog is the system of record for what runs in production: services, APIs, infrastructure, and who owns them. It feeds search, automation, and the Context Lake so platform and product engineers share the same picture.
What the catalog is for
Discovery and dependency intelligence on top of synced data
Signals from Git, CI, and clusters roll up into entities you can query, automate against, and explain to new joiners.
Discover & sync
Ingest signals from Git, CI/CD, Kubernetes, and cloud accounts so services, workloads, and resources appear in one place—without manual spreadsheets.
Ownership & teams
Attach squads, channels, and on-call to every entity so “who owns this?” has a single answer inside the portal.
Dependencies & blast radius
Model repos, libraries, and runtime edges to see what breaks when something changes—before merge or during an incident.
Search & surface
Filter and search across metadata, tags, and types; expose catalog context to automation, scorecards, and AI tools.
Stack it with automation: the same entities power workflows and webhooks and the AI assistant—always with catalog-backed context.
Capabilities
What you can model in the catalog
Depth varies by integration and tenant configuration—these are the conceptual pillars most platform teams start from.
Services & workloads
First-class records for applications and runtime workloads tied to environments and clusters.
- Discovery from Kubernetes and integrations
- Environment and lifecycle metadata
- Links to deploy and pipeline history
- Health and ownership at a glance
APIs & interfaces
Surface APIs and contracts next to the services that implement them.
- Endpoints grouped by service
- Version and deprecation signals where available
- Cross-links for consumers and producers
- Room for OpenAPI and event schemas
Infrastructure & resources
Map cloud and platform resources to the services that depend on them.
- IaC and cloud inventory aligned to services
- Accounts, regions, and key resources
- Cost and utilization hooks where connected
- Clear separation of platform vs. app scope
Teams & ownership
Operational metadata so paging, approvals, and comms route correctly.
- Squad and contact surfaces
- On-call and escalation alignment
- Role-aware views for platform vs. product
- Audit-friendly ownership history over time
Discovery
Find anything in a growing estate—by name, tag, owner, or dependency.
- Fast lookup across entity types
- Filters for stack, tier, and risk
- Saved views for campaigns (e.g. upgrades)
- Entry point for scorecards and policies
Integrations & freshness
Keep the catalog honest by syncing the tools teams already use.
- Git and CI metadata in the loop
- Cloud and cluster connectors
- Webhooks and automation hooks
- See the full tool list on Integrations
