Feature Overview

Datadog DORA Metrics enables engineering leaders to easily capture, analyze, and act on the four key software delivery performance indicators (deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, time to restore) to continuously improve development stability and velocity across all teams. By collecting and analyzing metrics from across your tooling, Datadog DORA Metrics allows you to identify top performing teams or areas for improvement, and ensure teams are consistently boosting software delivery throughput and production stability.
