Middleware is an open-source tool that empowers engineering leaders to measure and analyze team effectiveness using DORA metrics. By focusing on key performance indicators like deployment frequency and lead time, it provides valuable insights into software delivery and operational efficiency.
Middleware is an innovative open-source platform designed specifically for engineering leaders to measure and analyze team performance using DORA metrics. By providing essential insights into software delivery performance and operational efficiency, Middleware helps unlock the full potential of engineering teams.
Key Features
- Integration with CI/CD Tools: Seamlessly integrate with various continuous integration and continuous delivery platforms to streamline workflows.
- Automated Metrics Collection: Automatically collect and analyze DORA metrics to save time and improve accuracy.
- Visualization: Gain immediate visibility of key performance indicators through intuitive dashboards and customizable reports.
- Project Management Integration: Connect with popular project management tools to ensure alignment and transparency across teams.
Understanding DORA Metrics
DORA metrics consist of four key performance indicators that can significantly impact software delivery and efficiency:
- Deployment Frequency: Measures how often releases are deployed to production.
- Lead Time for Changes: Tracks the time taken for code changes to reach production.
- Mean Time to Restore: Calculates the average time to recover from service incidents or failures.
- Change Failure Rate: Evaluates the percentage of deployments that result in failures or necessitate remediation.
Getting Started
Getting started with Middleware is simple. Once set up, you can track your engineering performance metrics and enhance your workflows effectively. You'll be able to:
- Generate and add personal access tokens (PAT) from your code provider.
- Create teams and select repositories for each team.
- View DORA Metrics tailored to your team’s performance.
- Adjust settings for incident filters, excluded pull requests, and production branches to refine data accuracy.
How DORA Metrics Are Calculated
Middleware derives its DORA Metrics from Pull Requests, Deployments, and Incidents, ensuring that you can access valuable metrics using your Git data, irrespective of other integrations.
