  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.
