      Compass features and capabilities

      Compass, Atlassian’s internal developer platform, brings together software architecture, ownership, health and operations data into a unified developer platform. Here’s what your teams get:

       

      • Software catalog
      • Health & realbility tracking
      • Extensibility and integration

      Software catalog

      Software catalog

      Improve your DevEx with a unified software catalog

      Compass delivers a single, searchable catalog for all your software components, giving developers quick access to APIs, libraries, documentation, ownership, health metrics, deployments, and on-call details. By mapping dependencies and centralizing activity history, it provides end-to-end visibility so teams can see how services relate, understand the impact of changes or incidents, and make faster, better decisions.

      Health & realbility tracking

      Health & realbility tracking

      Get a complete view of your service health

      Compass gives every team a single, data-driven view of service health, with scorecards, ownership dashboards, and CheckOps retrospectives that standardize best practices, protect autonomy, and continuously improve reliability and performance.

      Extensibility and integration

      Extensibility and integration

      Connect critical service details and build the developer experience you need

      Compass is highly extensible, so you can connect key service data, centralize information from your CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure tools, and reduce time spent searching across systems. With open APIs, integrations, and Atlassian Forge, you can build custom apps without managing infrastructure, automate data flows, and scale Compass as your engineering needs grow.

      FAQs about Compass

       

      What exactly is Compass? How is it different from typical tools like issue trackers or CI/CD pipelines?

      Compass is a developer portal and internal service catalog — not a CI/CD tool or issue tracker. While tools like Jira help you track tasks or issues, Compass helps you track the software components themselves: all services, libraries, microservices, APIs, and their relationships, ownership, health status, documentation, and operational metadata. It offers a unified view of your architecture rather than just project-level activities.

       

      Who benefits from Compass?

      Compass is valuable for both individual developers and engineering managers / architects. Developers benefit from easily finding services, dependencies, documentation, and owner teams. Managers and architects gain visibility into the architecture, dependencies, health, compliance, and operational readiness — especially in organizations managing many services or microservices.

       

      What kinds of integrations does Compass support?

      Compass supports integrations with many tools across your software toolchain — source code repositories, CI/CD systems, monitoring/observability tools, security scanners, incident management, documentation platforms, etc. Through these integrations or custom Forge apps, Compass can ingest events, metrics, deployment data, alerts, and more — centralizing them under each component.

       

      How does licensing/pricing for Compass work?

      Compass is built to scale with you — start small on the Free plan, and upgrade to Standard or Premium when you need more users, advanced features, or enterprise-grade reliability.

      Plan Price (per full user / month) What You Get
      Free $0 Up to 3 full users + unlimited basic users, unlimited software-component catalog, health scorecards & metrics, 3 custom fields/scorecards, apps & integrations. atlassian.com
      Standard ~$8 Everything in Free + support for up to 35,000 full users, 3 custom component types, 50 custom fields/scorecards, 100 custom metrics, broader data retention, and business-hours support. atlassian.com+1
      Premium ~$24 Everything in Standard + up to 14 custom component types, 100 custom fields/scorecards, 200 custom metrics, enhanced operations (alerts & on-call, integrations, advanced config), 2 years of data retention, 99.9 % SLA, 24/7 support, IP allowlisting and full permissions control

       

      For full details, see the official Compass pricing page.

       

       

      Can we build custom tools or automation on top of Compass?

      Yes — Compass exposes public APIs and supports building custom apps or data-ingestion tools with Forge. For example, you can build a “data provider” app that automatically ingests deployment events, metrics or alerts from external systems (monitoring, CI/CD, repos) and binds them to components inside Compass — fully automating your infrastructure visibility.
