Atlassian recently released Compass, a developer experience platform that aims to enhance software architecture performance. Compass provides a software architecture catalog, integrates code repositories, and stores toolchain data. It also defines health standards to enable teams to track the continuous improvement of their software projects.
Matt Boulton, senior content designer at Atlassian, summarised the abilities of Compass in a blog post. Boulton stated that developers often get frustrated when trying to understand how a specific piece of code fits into the larger project. Key information like repository ownership, dependencies, or relevant contacts can be difficult to reach, leading to inefficient workflows.
