Overview

A Software Catalog serves as your organization’s central repository of software assets and ownership information. It provides a complete view of your applications, services, infrastructure components, and the teams responsible for them. The catalog helps engineering teams answer essential questions about their technology landscape.

Getting Answers to Key Questions

A software catalog helps teams quickly answer common questions, such as:

  • Who owns this application?
  • What is the owner’s contact information?
  • What database does this application use?
  • How is this application deployed?
  • What compliance requirements does this application have?
  • What version of this application is deployed in production?
  • When was this application last deployed?
