Atlassian Compass

Atlassian Compass is a developer experience platform that helps engineering teams understand, manage, and improve the health of their software components and services. It provides a centralized catalog of software components with scorecards, metrics, dependency tracking, and event ingestion to improve developer productivity and software quality. Compass exposes a GraphQL API for querying and mutating component data and a REST Operations API for integrations.

Atlassian Compass publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: REST API, Events API, and Metrics API. Tagged areas include Atlassian, Component Management, Developer Experience, Software Catalog, and GraphQL.

The Atlassian Compass catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Atlassian Compass’ developer surface includes CLI, changelog, API reference, authentication, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, and 41 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/atlassian-compass: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
