    Learn more about Compass

    Compass is a developer portal that helps manage distributed software systems. It reduces the time spent managing dependencies and understanding system interactions and encourages a more integrated and seamless workflow, improving Developer Experience through productivity and the quality of work life.

    Compass streamlines activities, such as onboarding, and comes without maintenance costs. Teams have insight into service details, dependencies, and activities for reliable, secure systems. Developers can customize and extend Compass for more efficient processes.

    With Atlassian Compass, you can:

    • Gain comprehensive insights into the status of your services. Utilize security and health scorecards, establish clear guidelines, and equip your team with the necessary resources to optimise operations.

    • Track changes in real-time and stay up-to-date with the latest activities of your components and their dependencies. This real-time data is sourced from all the tools you use in your software development process.

    • Achieve maximum control over your software. Maintain visibility over all components developed and used by your team. New components can be easily added, responsibilities clarified, and relationships between different components clearly understood.

    • Provide your developers with top-tier infrastructure. Thanks to Compass's extensibility, you can integrate internal and external tools, customize the user interface, and create new features on the component, team, or global level, giving your developers the best tools available.

    Compass includes a software catalogue that enables the discovery and management of software components. It has scorecards that specify best practices for teams and dashboards to track components. Templates integrate best practices into your company’s standards.

    The following features provide an ultimate infrastructure for developers:

    • Catalogue: the Compass Catalogue offers a centralized view of all software components across the organisation, making collaboration between teams easier. It provides details on services, APIs, libraries, documentation, key metrics, deployments, and on-call schedules. Components can be added manually, through an API, or by importing from an SCM tool. The process is accelerated with reusable templates that align with organizational standards. Important changes can be communicated to all teams, allowing developers to easily access components, retrieve information, and document dependencies to analyse their impact on team and service performance.

    • Service Status: the service status feature enables real-time monitoring of software components. By assigning weightings to criteria, teams can prioritise which components are critical and take actions to improve service quality when needed. Atlassian Compass offers valuable tools for this purpose: Scorecards document best practices and allow for autonomous work while meeting security and compliance standards. The team dashboard provides an overview of the status and performance of all components, along with the necessary tools and metrics for monitoring. CheckOps helps identify weaknesses and improvement opportunities based on past operations.

    • Extensibility: Compass utilizes open APIs to create a customized developer environment, allowing flexible adaptation and integration into workflows. By integrating observability, CI/CD, OSS, and cloud infrastructure data, you save time. In addition to using existing integrations, you can also create your own with Forge, Atlassian's application development platform. Forge helps configure Compass according to your specific needs, while Atlassian manages computing resources, storage, and security.

    • Templates: Atlassian Compass enables the creation of templates that integrate best practices, organisation-specific standards, standard code, and webhooks. These reusable templates accelerate the creation of software components and automate recurring tasks. Templates promote consistency in software development and ensure that critical information and metadata are not overlooked, improving the quality and reliability of software components.

    Compass benefits developers and engineers, providing insights into software architecture, component ownership, resources, and operational status. It's ideal for managing development sprawl.

    Developer Experience is how developers interact with tools, APIs, and platforms. It includes ease of use, documentation quality, and overall satisfaction. Good Developer Experience tools boost productivity and adoption, which is crucial for successful software projects.

    A distributed software architecture consists of interconnected, yet independently functioning services across different computing resources. Each service has a specific role and contributes to the overall outcome.

    This architecture offers benefits like increased resilience and flexibility but also comes with challenges: the interconnections between services create a complex system that requires precise coordination. An experienced operations team is often needed to manage the continuous deployment and modification of the architecture, while collaboration across various teams demands clear communication and rapid knowledge sharing.

    Uncontrolled growth of such software projects—known as software sprawl—can lead to inefficiencies and coordination challenges. Despite this, more teams are adopting distributed architectures, supported by CI/CD tools that enable fast, error-free changes. While this boosts output, teams often struggle to keep their architecture up-to-date and fully documented, requiring a comprehensive approach to manage the entire development process effectively.

    Atlassian Compass addresses challenges in managing complex software systems, enhancing team collaboration, and improving development processes. It simplifies navigating and understanding intricate architectures, fostering more efficient project management and development practices.

    Compass integrates seamlessly with other Atlassian products, including Jira, allowing teams to track their work comprehensively from development to deployment. It enhances collaboration and visibility across software development lifecycle stages, providing aligned information on the status and progress of projects.

    Compass provides a unified view of all software components and their interdependencies. It helps you understand and navigate the software landscape, making it easier to manage, update, and secure complex systems. This improves decision-making and planning, system reliability, and performance.

    Compass simplifies the discovery and management of software components and reduces the time and effort needed to understand and work with complex systems and manage dependencies. Compass reduces friction and bottlenecks by improving collaboration and team alignment.

    Compass centralizes the information and tools needed for managing software components and their interactions. This helps teams maintain consistency and compliance with best practices across their development processes, ensuring that the environment remains stable, secure, and efficient.

    Atlassian Compass improves product quality by providing visibility into the health and status of software components, facilitating early detection of potential issues. It enables teams to proactively address vulnerabilities, dependencies, and architectural changes, ensuring high-quality outcomes.

    Compass supports DevOps and Agile practices by enhancing collaboration and streamlining workflows. It offers tools and insights that enable continuous integration, continuous delivery, and agile project management, aligning development efforts with business goals and customer needs.

    Eficode helps plan and configure Atlassian Compass to work with your teams, offering support with use and best practices. These include the configuration, integration, and planning of pages, metrics, and scorecards.

    Compass has the flexibility to accommodate specific organizational needs through configuration. Its architecture supports plugins and integrations, enabling teams to tailor the platform according to their unique workflows, processes, and preferences.

    Eficode implements and manages Compass by providing setup, customization, and ongoing support. Eficode’s services ensure that Compass aligns with organizational goals and optimizes Developer Experience effectively.

    Atlassian Compass provides a shared platform where team members can easily access, manage, and share information about software components. This shared understanding and visibility into the software architecture fosters better communication and collaboration across development teams.

    Compass is priced per user per month.
