Changelog #17

Happy Friday! This late week release ahead of KubeCon is a big one, so get ready! We’re introducing the beta of our relationship mapping in Tempest’s software catalog as part of our effort to make Tempest the best internal developer portal. We’ve also released six new first-party integrations as part of our ever expanding app ecosystem.

And don’t forget — we won’t have a changelog next week as the Tempest team will be in London April 1-4 for KubeCon Europe! We’ll have fun swag and raffle prizes (hint: it starts with “Keychron” and ends with “mechanical keyboard” ;) ) and we’d love to meet you! Email us at hello@tempestdx.com and let’s connect!

If you have any questions, join our Slack community, book time with our team, or reach out on LinkedIn, X, or BlueSky.

Spotlights

Relationships Graph (beta)

We’ve spoken to dozens of teams who emphasized how critical dev portals are for understanding the full shape of an organization’s engineering system, at a glance. That’s why we’ve introduced new relationship visualizations to beta, making it easier to see how your architecture connects and evolves over time.

What is it?

Tempest’s relationships graph provides a map that visualizes how services, resources, people, and teams are connected across your engineering system.

With Tempest’s relationships graph, you can:

• Understand how a change in one service will impact others;

• Navigate unfamiliar parts of your technology stack quickly;

• Troubleshoot faster;

• Clarify ownership; and

• Improve platform visibility.

How are they populated?

Relationships are auto-inferred based on existing Tempest deployments or can be manually defined for every individual component of your catalog.

The relationships graph is still in beta, so try it out and share with us what you think!

New first-party app integrations

Tempest’s integration ecosystem allows users to import and centralize your existing tools into your software catalog, while also enabling you to add them as resources into recipes, so that they’re automagically provisioned as part of your deployment workflows.

Here’s what’s new:

AWS Lambda

Create and manage AWS Lambda functions directly from your deployment workflows, or import existing functions into your service catalog. Define memory, timeouts, and more as part of your recipes for fully automated, event-driven compute.

DataDog

Use the DatDog app to create, import, and define critical monitors, service level objectives, and APM service definitions, so that your observability setup stays in sync with the rest of your platform.

Jira

Tempest’s Jira integration allows developers to create, import, and manage Jira components. You can also import Jira projects into Tempest to manage them all in a single platform.

Slack

Use the new Slack first party integration to create new channels as part of a deployment workflow or import channels to centralize them in your service catalog.

Supabase

Create and manage Supabase projects as part of project deployment pipelines, or import projects into the service catalog.

Sentry

The Sentry app lets you create and manage error tracking, import projects, and integrate monitoring directly into your deployment pipelines.
