Platform engineering is the discipline of designing and building toolchains and workflows that enable self-service capabilities for software engineering organizations in the cloud-native era.

Platform Engineering

Hi Graeme, have you looked at <http://Digital.ai|Digital.ai>? <https://digital.ai/products/intelligence/intelligence-dorametrics/>

We build a simple system years back that is modeled after <https://github.com/dora-team/fourkeys|fourkeys> that is just an API that takes in web hooks from GitLab and JIRA and then does simple aggregations and lookups and spits out time series for Prometheus

It has served us surprisingly well for 3+ years

it has also allowed us to use it for some additional helpful metrics that tell us data about our value stream such as

• Time to Review
• Time to Approval
• Success/Failure rate for CI/CD jobs/pipelines
• Duration for CI/CD jbos/pipelienes

each of the above can be aggregated on different levels (e..g branch, repo)

Ours is similar to this sans pub sub  (we use web hooks) and BigQuery (we use time series/prometheus)

Thanks <@U052HJ2KVMX> - That was pretty much along the lines of what I thought we would build - but I'm facing bit build vs buy(or FOSS) backlash - so doing some more due diligence. Fantastic info under four keys though - that's probably 80% of the design work right there if we did go down that road (and, like yourself, we'd probably just use webhooks pushing to a Prom DB rather than a pub/sub framework)
