At Sportradar, driving engineering excellence isn't just a goal—it's a necessity.
Scott Dunbar, SVP of Engineering Enablement at Sportradar, shares how Cortex streamlined their development process, eliminating two years of complexity from engineering workflows.
“Cortex is helping us drive a culture of engineering excellence by bringing all the complexity in an engineer's life into one single consumable artifact, and really helping the engineer distill down all the metrics, requirements, scorecards, and measures that they need to think about in their daily work.”
From automating workflows with tools like the Scaffolder and Service Catalog to empowering teams to bootstrap entire projects from scratch, Cortex is helping Sportradar optimize efficiency and innovation.

Hi there. I'm Scott Dunbar. I'm Senior Vice President of Engineering Enablement at Sport Radar. My team is passionate about development complexity and removing complexity in our in our software delivery lifecycle. The results that we've seen with Cortex so far is a general changing culture really around around our 1100 or so engineers where historically they of course had to interface with multiple tools and multiple services in order to do their job and today. They're coming to a single tool and this is starting to unify all of that complexity down to a single sort of development developer homepage. And it, it, it's become the sort of one stop shop for for how our developers consume their environment. We chose Cortex because we get a sense that Cortex was built for developers, by developers and that that was a, you know, a very easy decision for us moving forward. My favorite feature as a, as a person who's come from a rich sort of DevOps background is obviously an automation, right? So, you know, we, we love the scaffolding capabilities and the ability to tie scaffolding with our service catalog at Sport Radar. The idea here is that a developer who's, you know, wanting to start a brand new project, let's say for example, they need Spring Boot, they, they need a, an RDS database and they want to run their workloads on Kubernetes. They can just go to the catalogue, select what they need Cortexes. Bootstrapping that entire project from scratch, saving countless hours and obviously a lot of complexity.
