Track the Metrics Elite Teams Actually Use
DORA metrics are the industry standard for measuring software delivery. See where your team stands — and what to improve first.
Measuring the wrong things leads to wrong decisions
Lines of code, commits per day, story points — none of these predict delivery performance. DORA metrics do, but most teams have no way to measure them.
Four Metrics, One Dashboard
CodePulse derives all four DORA metrics from your GitHub pull request and merge data — no CI/CD pipeline integration required.
Deployment Frequency
How often your team ships to production, measured by PR merge rate.
Lead Time for Changes
Time from first commit to production deployment. Separate from PR cycle time.
Change Failure Rate
Percentage of merges that cause issues, detected via revert PRs and hotfix patterns.
Mean Time to Recovery
How quickly your team responds to failures, measured by hotfix cycle time.
Key Metrics You Will Track

Revert and hotfix detection
“Our retros used to be a blame game - everyone had a theory, nobody had receipts. Now I just pull up the dashboard and it's right there. We found out review turnaround was almost three days on average. Got it down to same-day once we actually saw it.”
