Cortex vs Port: What are the differences?

Cortex: Track, follow, and make meaningful improvements to microservices. It helps engineering teams understand and improve their services. By aggregating data from tools like Datadog and Okta, It helps teams understand their architecture at a glance – everything from ownership to runbooks; Port: A developer portal for all your services, software & resources. It is a Developer Platform made to make life easier for developers and DevOps in an organization, by creating a single platform that acts as a single source of truth for all of the infrastructure assets and operations existing in the organization's tech stack. Port then allows developers to perform self-service actions on these assets. From provisioning a dev environment, understanding who is the owner of a microservice, or any unique use case DevOps wants to self-serve and automate.

Cortex and Port can be categorized as "Microservice Catalog" tools.
