Port's software catalog offers a centralized metadata store encompassing software, environments, resources, pipelines, CI/CD, and cloud resources, which enhances use cases like CI/CD and Kubernetes catalogs. To streamline the setup of internal developer portals, Port introduces pre-made software catalog templates, allowing platform engineers to quickly align the catalog with their unique use cases and data models. These templates include options for mapping Git provider data, using GitOps, connecting CI/CD pipelines, mapping Kubernetes and cloud ecosystems, and employing Infrastructure as Code (IaC). The flexibility of these templates enables organizations to customize and improve them over time, providing developers with a tailored and efficient way to navigate the software development lifecycle. By offering a variety of templates, Port facilitates the creation of metadata-rich catalogs that bring visibility and standardization to complex engineering environments.
