Configure8

A developer portal for cataloging everything achieving high standards

Help your developers move faster and build better software with self-serve access to the knowledge and functionality they need.

Liberate your developers from bottlenecks and cognitive load while improving standardization and reuse. configure8’s no code UI makes it easy for developers to create something new or perform day-2 operations the right way, leveraging your existing automations, tools, and governance process, all without hunting for hard-to-find context (i.e., subnet IDs)

Establish meaningful standards for your organization, provide developers with an at-a-glance understanding of what needs to be done to improve, and measure progress as well as keep everyone informed, all programmatically without writing scripts, maintaining spreadsheets, and chasing people down.

An accurate universal catalog that reflects the unique contours of your enterprise is the foundation of your developer portal. It should organize your entire ecosystem and present it the way you want. Use it to improve your developers’ and managers' experiences, and lay the foundation to achieve high standards.

Give your developers the power to see and safely control their cloud and Kubernetes costs in their everyday workflow, and foster a culture of collaborative cost management across your organization.

The remarkable growth in the number of third-party libraries, services, and tools used in modern distributed systems have enabled teams to be more nimble than ever before. But all of this "more" comes with a hidden cost ... sprawl.

Sprawl has made the simplicity of compiling and shipping with the press of a button a feature of a bygone era. "You build it, you operate it" in today's world produces a subpar developer experience, governance complexities, and manual tasks that bottleneck developer and ops teams.

It doesn't have to be this way! configure8 is on a mission to tame sprawl through abstraction and meta-orchestration of your existing tools. In doing so, we help your developers move faster and build better software with self-serve access to the knowledge and functionality they need.

When we began our journey, only the very largest companies had access to custom-built tooling that alleviated pain points around creating and managing reliable, cost-efficient software built on a distributed cloud architecture. Our mission is to democratize access to high-quality tooling that alleviates the burdens of software development sprawl.

We've experienced the pain points of sprawling distributed systems. We understand the complexities of leading a team of thousands running a sprawling system inside a regulated entity. We've experienced the stress of getting paged at 2AM for a service you know nothing about. We've witnessed governance complexities and manual tasks related to "you build it, you operate it" bottleneck our development and ops teams. Our ability to achieve the highest standards was limited by spreadsheets and static wikis.

Built by engineers with backgrounds at Microsoft, Google, NASA and AOL / Yahoo!, configure8 helps developers move faster and build better software with self-serve access to the knowledge and functionality they need.

Our customers are developers and engineering managers.  We are developers and engineering managers.  We bring empathy and love for our users in all that we do.

Our customers demand quality.  We know that because, as developers, we demand quality.

We challenge the status quo and love the challenge of ‘it can’t be done’. We move quickly and with calculation.
