What is The Slate?
The Slate is an AI-driven service catalogue platform designed to help organizations understand and manage their microservices architecture. It enables teams to capture Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in a centralized location, facilitating better communication of architectural changes across services and teams. By documenting architecture decisions and linking impacted services, The Slate helps turn tribal knowledge into organizational context, reducing the risk of missed decisions and unknown dependencies.
This tool aggregates critical product metrics and insights to support informed decision-making, aligning services with business value. It aims to increase ROI, implement effective change, and enhance team collaboration by providing a clear view of service dependencies and impacts. The Slate is built for technical leaders and teams working in microservices or service-oriented architecture environments, offering unlimited services and architecture decisions for up to five team members.
