About Compass

Today's developers face unprecedented complexity. More services and apps to manage, CI/CD, security, and observability data spread across multiple tools, and a growing list of responsibilities like security and compliance, keeping developers happy and engaged is an uphill battle. Compass from Atlassian eliminates the friction and helps software teams perform at their best.
One Centralized Software Catalog: At the core of Compass is a centralized software catalog that development teams and leads use to track and understand all their software components like services, libraries, and APIs. No more context switching between tools to see what services are compliant with the latest security standard, or to find relevant documentation for a new API. Visualize software dependencies and effortlessly link components to Jira issues to understand work impact and prioritize your backlog.
Optimize Service Health & Reliability: Delivering quality software requires continuous improvement. With Compass, apply customizable scorecards to measure and understand the operational health of your software. Get automatic DORA metrics
like deployment frequency and change failure, and pull in custom metrics from all your apps and tools. Build scorecards to track security compliance, quantify tech debt to quickly identify risks and prioritize improvements through automated workflows into Jira. Communicate standards across teams to raise the bar.
Connected with the Atlassian Ecosystem: Compass seamlessly integrates across Atlassian products. Connect Compass components to Jira issues to understand work impact and improve software health and engineering standards. Link Jira Service Management data for meaningful incident response and see Compass components in Bitbucket to understand the context of your code.
Extensibility Connects Your Entire Toolchain: Stop swimming in an ocean of fragmented data. Compass is fully extensible so you can integrate your tools for observability, CI/CD, source control, infrastructure provisioning, and more into one experience. View
critical service details like metrics, ownership, and dependencies - without leaving your happy place. Spend less time searching, more time building.
Automate Your Way to Production: Creating new services from scratch is painful and prone to error. With Compass templates, automate the setup of secure, compliant infrastructure and deployment pipelines. Provision cloud resources, configure monitoring, and more - all via reusable, code-defined "golden paths" aligned to your best practices.
Compass from Atlassian helps you spend less time wrestling with complexity and more time delivering quality software. Keep your developers in a state of flow, optimize service reliability, and
accelerate your path to production. Discover a transformative developer experience with Compass today.

Key benefits of Compass

Find Info Faster
Find what you need, when you need it. A centralized software component catalog gets info out of engineers' heads and into one
common location. Learn how to use a new API faster, and experience fewer interruptions for minor questions.

Reduce friction
Compass keeps developers in a state of flow by reducing the cognitive load and context switching they face daily. With a centralized software catalog, critical service details, and integrated
toolchain, developers spend less time searching across siloed tools and more time focusing on innovation.

Improve the Software Health and Engineering Standards
Track software health metrics, apply security and health scorecards, and empower teams to improve the health of their
services and prevent incidents. Efficiently deploy new policies at scale and keep everyone in the know.

Automate consistency and accelerate paths to production
Make the doing right thing intuitive for your developers. With software templates, you can standardize best practices, create new services in seconds, and reduce risk and toil for your
developers.

Extend, Customize, and Make Compass Your Own
Save time searching and reduce tool sprawl by integrating your apps for observability, CI/CD, security, and more. See all the insights in one place with complete context. Get a cohesive
