Everything an engineer needs about a service in one place

Service Compass is a lightweight, focused engineering context platform for finding service ownership, repositories, environments, documentation, observability, deployment, and other essential links.

Context, without another platform to navigate

Understanding one service often means moving between GitHub, Swagger, Grafana, Kubernetes, deployment tools, documentation, and team directories. Service Compass centralizes references to those systems without trying to replace them or become a general developer-portal framework.

Focused capabilities

A practical foundation for engineering context that remains intentionally smaller than a full developer portal.

Service catalog

Search services and understand their lifecycle, tags, descriptions, and owners.

Teams and ownership

Manage teams and make the responsible group for every service easy to find.

Useful destinations

Collect repositories, environments, documentation, APIs, logs, metrics, dashboards, and deployments.

Portable catalog data

Import, export, and reuse catalog JSON with a provided starter template.

Focused and honest about its scope

Service Compass stores links to external tools; it does not currently integrate with their APIs or import GitHub repositories. The project is at an early open-source stage, so APIs and the data model may evolve before a stable, production-ready release.

  • React and TypeScript frontend
  • Spring Boot JSON API
  • PostgreSQL with Flyway migrations
  • Optional GitHub OAuth
