🎉 Hey everyone, we're super excited to share our new demo site with you! It includes a lot of of real-world use cases that cover what engineering teams need most: streamline deployments, manage APIs, track engineering metrics and more. 🔍 What you'll find: • Practical Use Cases: Scenarios that show you exactly how Port can help solve common challenges. • Documentation: We've made sure each use case has links to step-by-step guides. • Comprehensive Dashboards: Keep tabs on everything you care about from engineering standards, technical initiatives, teams performance, security and more • Easy to Replicate: Everything you see is designed to be easily replicated. We've put a lot of love into this demo site, and we're really eager to hear what you think. 👀 Take a look and let us know

I was wondering how Port positions itself in terms of recent features of Datadog (App Builder, workflows, private runners, service catalog, teams) - it seems that datadog is another powerful alternative next to Port and Backstage

Hello I recently started using port and its been great so far. I just had a suggestion. Dark Mode 😎 Having dark mode on the blueprint page would really help me see the relationships better

Some feedback: Whenever I add a new property, I am zoomed out automatically and then I have to look for the blueprint again. Its cumbersome since my model is quite big so its annoying to search for it after every property addition. It would be better if I just stuck to the same view as I add or maybe there is a way to fix a blueprint to window when you are adding properties.

How do I get access to the discovery of crds that then generate the models and actions automatically?

Hey, A new feature has been added to Port GitHub app exporter, allowing you to export and analyze files from GitHub repositories. This enhancement significantly boosts your capabilities in handling and parsing both JSON and YAML files, enabling the creation of entities from these configurations. Common use cases can be: • Analyzing

package.json

to analyze & map dependencies & relations between projects • Analyzing

CODEOWNERS

file to create relations (ownership) between teams and services • Analyzing helm charts & various other yaml configuration files and attach these details to existing services Limitations: • Any file bigger than 512KB will not be analyzed Attaching here 1 small example of me creating

package

blueprint and grouping them by services in my organization Docs available here: https://docs.getport.io/build-your-software-catalog/sync-data-to-catalog/git/github/#ingest-files-from-your-repositories Stay tuned for more features!

Hi we are interested in building out a Service Catalog and a Cloud Cost Reporting tool. Seems like Port might help with both of those! So I installed the github app and ingested all my repo info, but I'm wondering how do I get going with the cost reporting stuff https://www.getport.io/usecase/cloud-cost-management?

Hey 👋 Happy to share that this channel now is for internal announcements only, there are no more customers here

Can someone help me create a channel? I am currently only able to create a "section". (Unless this is the same thing as a channel?)

welcome @Hila Kashai!

Hey <!subteam^S07B32P07RB> when receiving invites from customers, never accept Private channels We want them to be manageable at scale, and require them to be public In case of doubt ping me before approving
