OpsLevel, a startup that helps development teams organize and track their microservices in a centralized developer portal, today announced that it has raised a $15 million Series A funding round. The round was led by a company. A number of angel investors, as well as previous investors, participated in this round.
The company was founded by former PagerDuty engineers John Laban and Kenneth Rose and provides a centralized service catalog. Engineers are increasingly asked to deploy and operate the code they write. It is often unclear who owns a given microservice.

While we were at PagerDuty, we saw all of the companies with distributed architectures and they were struggling with service ownership. There has been an associated rise of these movements like Shift Left and DevSecOps, and all of these extra responsibilities are getting piled on to development teams.
Laban believes that automation is the answer to this problem. To help these engineering teams, OpsLevel provides them with a developer portal that provides a single interface to manage all of their services, systems and tools. The service integrates with a wide variety of services, from Git and GitLab to Jenkins, GutHub Actions, PagerDuty, and Datadog.

To be the first place that developers go to do anything with their services, we want to provide this paved road. Laban explained that if a team wants to build a new feature with the developer portal, they can create the service directly to support that feature, rig it up with correct toolchain and then continuously monitor operations maturity going forward.
The company's customers include Auth0, Chegg, Convoy, Hootsuite, Under Armour and others. Laban told me that the team is seeing strong growth with January alone exceeding the last quarter in terms of revenue.
The kind of growth investors want to see is that of the rise of microservices and the adoption of DevOps.

The company plans to use the new funding to expand its engineering team in order to speed up its product development efforts.
