Develocity is the strategic enabler for DORA and continuous delivery. We empower your organization to achieve smaller, more frequent, and higher-quality releases, turning aspirational theory into daily practice
The significance of DORA
DORA’s research outlines a set of evidence-based capabilities that lead to better organizational performance. The “four keys” of DORA are clearly defined metrics that help organizations assess their performance. Develocity then empowers organizations to actively measure and improve those metrics with continuous delivery practices to achieve the highest standard of software delivery excellence.
DORA’s four key metrics for software delivery
These four key metrics effectively measure the outcomes of your software delivery process and are predictors of better organizational performance and team member well-being.
The time between code commit and deployment
The frequency of deployments
The percentage of deployments that fail in production
The time it takes to recover from a failed deployment
How Develocity helps you measure and improve your DORA metrics
A fundamental principle of Continuous Delivery is the frequent integration and deployment of small code batches.
Overhead in building and testing locally and on CI discourages frequent small releases, causing teams to accumulate changes, which in turn decreases the frequency of deployments and increases batch size—negatively impacting DORA metrics. GenAI is rapidly escalating this problem.
Develocity reduces the build and test overhead, eliminating the “penalty” of increased transactions traditionally associated with small-batch development.
Strategic Outcomes
Adopt smaller batches
Faster feedback cycles lead to smaller batches and CD practices
More frequent deployments
Due to reduced merge conflicts and less code divergence
Improved deployment quality
Cultural shifts at major tech companies show a positive correlation between the two
