Real-time DevOps performance metrics for SpecWeave, updated twice daily.

Current Performance​

🚀 Deployment Frequency​

Deployment Frequency DF Tier

What it measures: How often we deploy to production Industry benchmarks:

  • 🏆 Elite: Multiple deploys per day (>365/year)
  • ⭐ High: Weekly to daily (52-365/year)
  • 📊 Medium: Monthly to weekly (12-52/year)
  • ⚠️ Low: Less than monthly (<12/year)

⚡ Lead Time for Changes​

Lead Time LT Tier

What it measures: Time from commit to production Industry benchmarks:

  • 🏆 Elite: Less than 1 hour
  • ⭐ High: 1 hour to 1 week
  • 📊 Medium: 1 week to 1 month
  • ⚠️ Low: More than 1 month

Percentiles:

  • P50 (Median): P50
  • P90: P90

✅ Change Failure Rate​

CFR CFR Tier

What it measures: Percentage of deployments that fail Industry benchmarks:

  • 🏆 Elite: 0-15%
  • ⭐ High: 15-30%
  • 📊 Medium: 30-45%
  • ⚠️ Low: More than 45%

Failed Releases: Failed / Total

🔧 Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)​

MTTR MTTR Tier

What it measures: Time to recover from production incidents Industry benchmarks:

  • 🏆 Elite: Less than 1 hour
  • ⭐ High: 1 hour to 1 day
  • 📊 Medium: 1 day to 1 week
  • ⚠️ Low: More than 1 week

Percentiles:

  • P90: P90

📈 How It Works​

Architecture​

Data Sources​

All metrics are calculated from GitHub data:

  1. Deployment Frequency: Counts commits to develop branch
  2. Lead Time: Measures commit → release time
  3. Change Failure Rate: Tracks issues labeled incident or production-bug
  4. MTTR: Measures incident creation → closure time

Zero Infrastructure​

  • Cost: $0/month (GitHub API free tier)
  • Database: None (GitHub is our database)
  • Server: None (GitHub Actions)
  • Rate Limits: 5000 API calls/hour (we use ~20/day)

🎯 Continuous Improvement​

Track our progress over time as we optimize SpecWeave's delivery performance:

Current Goals:

  • 🚀 Deployment Frequency: Maintain Elite tier (>365 deploys/year)
  • ⚡ Lead Time: High → Elite (target: <1h median)
  • ✅ Change Failure Rate: Maintain Elite (<15%)
  • 🔧 MTTR: Track once incidents occur (target: <1 hour)
