Port is an Internal Developer Portal founded in Nov-2021 and HQ in Tel Aviv, Israel. It is most often recommended tool in the community due to ease of trying and a freemium option. It provides a service catalog, a self-service developer experience platform and automations associated with it.
1. Limited Capability in Scorecards: You will be able to create scorecards but they are not as comprehensive as some of the other providers like Cortex. For instance, the rules here are limited to conditions on the fields defined (is there a Slack channel defined? Are alerts defined?) within a Service Catalog and does not support complex aggregations or functions on SLOs, MTTRs or other custom metrics.
2. Budget: In case you are a large enterprise, you might want to evaluate the cost of using Port and it’s budgetary.
1. Self-serve + Freemium Plan: Port has a freemium plan and does not require a credit card to signup. It is free upto team of 15 developers. Post that, they charge ~$25/developer/month.
1. Self-hosted available ✅
3. Ease of onboarding: I signed up on Port and found it intuitive and easy to get started. Completely worth evaluating as an option if it fits your requirement & time-to-value.
