We're excited to share the latest updates and improvements we've made to the platform in June. This month, we focused on enhancing data management and the user experience built on top of it (thanks to Source Management) as well as users enablement with a completely revamped documentation portal.

With the June releases, developers can better get started in Rely and take control of the entities going into their catalog to keep it consistent and clean.

With the already existing Discovery feature, you can review what our plugins found in your different sources (Github, Gitlab, Jira, Pager Duty, Datadog, AWS, GCP, etc.) before actually importing them into your catalog.

Building upon the foundation of Discovery, we're thrilled to introduce Source Management. This powerful new feature empowers you to:

Import into Existing Entities
Previously, importing data resulted in creating new entities. Now, you can seamlessly import data and associate it with an existing entity in your catalog, maintaining a clean and organized structure. You can now avoid competing entries in your catalog and instead import them into each other.

Granular Source of Truth Definition
For each property within any entity (e.g., a service name), you can now specify its active source of truth. This eliminates the risk of different sources (e.g. for a Service it can be found in Backstage, Pager Duty, Datadog, etc.) overwriting the same property (service.title in this case).

Visit our docs for an in-depth guide.

Improved Configuration Experience for Entities

To streamline the process of defining and managing entity properties, we've introduced a dedicated configuration journey (separate from the consultation journey). This enhanced interface allows you to:

• Consult entities efficiently: Find in your catalog answers to your entity related questions without wading through configuration related views and call-to-actions (e.g. edit values, review configuration changes in the Audit Logs, etc.).
• Review current values: Easily view the current values for all entity properties, as well as where these values are coming from (source plugin, entity and property).
• Set Source of Truth: Clearly define which plugin serves as the source of truth for each property and protect your desired source of truth from being overwritten by others.

This separation from the entity browsing view also prevents accidental changes while exploring your catalog.

Source Management is generally available for all users. Visit our docs to learn more.

Features like:

Out-of-the-box Pipeline and Workflow actions with the Gitlab & Github plugins and Scaffolding Actions for your developers to build with autonomy and confidence.

Scorecard General Leaderboard and Service Tabs to track for each standard you care about its adoption and progress across all Services and in detail under a specific Service.

New Widgets for the Dashboards (Pipeline, Timeline, Pie Chart, etc.) to unlock new views for your use cases.
