Cortex says it experienced 10x customer growth since its launch in May 2021. Current customers include the likes of Grammarly, 8×8 and Rappi.

The  mission of the company is to build a system of record for engineering teams — or at least those that adopt modern development practices. The services catalog is at the heart of what Cortex does and it was also the first product the team launched. Now it is starting to build out its features around this catalog. Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta said:

“We very quickly realized that once you have all these microservices being tracked in this catalog, you can do some interesting things there.”

The goal is to give engineering leaders insights into the quality of their services, but also to help the engineers themselves understand what services are available and what their status is.

With today’s announcement, the company is also launching its Service Creation tool. It gives developers a basic scaffold for new services based on their own templates.

Also new with today’s release are new team features to help improve cross-team collaboration and developer onboarding.

“We believe this funding round is a great validation of our business strength. We’ve been cash flow positive from the very early days. The round also validates the strength of our mission to improve lives through improving communication.”

The Grammarly plans are to use the funding to continue making investments in its AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology.

Meanwhile the app  is already scaling its product offerings and achieving its goal towards ubiquity with the launch of Grammarly for Mac and Windows. The new desktop application can be used on apps such as Microsoft Office, Slack, Discord, Jira, and more.

The platform also recently announced the launch of Grammarly for Developers with the rollout of its Text Editor SDK (software development kit), which enables programmers to embed Grammarly text editing functionality into any web application.
