DORA Metrics are a set of performance indicators that measure the performance of software development and delivery processes and teams. These metrics are:
- deployment frequency, which measures how often code is deployed to production
- lead time for changes, which tracks the time it takes to implement and release a change
- change failure rate, which assesses the percentage of unsuccessful changes
- time to restore service, which gauges the speed of recovery from incidents or outages.
These metrics can be improved using a combination of tools and practices such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), version control, observability platforms, and incident management platforms.
