About
Compass is Atlassian’s internal developer platform for cataloging software components, connecting teams, and improving developer experience across the software lifecycle.
It helps engineering organizations maintain a central view of services, repositories, APIs, dependencies, and ownership so teams can stay aligned and reduce context switching. Compass also provides health scorecards, metrics, and operational insights to support software quality, reliability, and delivery performance.
- Software component catalog with ownership and dependency tracking
- Health scorecards, metrics, and software quality insights
- Team dashboards and developer experience visibility
- Integrations with observability, CI/CD, cloud, and Atlassian tools
- Extensibility for custom workflows and component data
