What DORA metrics measure#
DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) metrics quantify software delivery performance. LumenFlow Cloud computes four metrics from telemetry data:
| Metric | What it measures | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment Frequency | How often you deploy to production | Deploys per day |
| Lead Time for Changes | Time from commit to production deploy | Hours |
| Change Failure Rate | Percentage of deploys causing failures | Percentage |
| Mean Time to Recovery | Time to restore service after failure | Hours |
Performance tiers#
Each metric is classified into a tier based on industry benchmarks:
| Tier | Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Elite | Green | Top quartile performance |
| High | Blue | Above median |
| Medium | Amber | Median range |
| Low | Red | Below median |
API access#
Query DORA metrics with GET /api/v1/telemetry/dora?days=30.
Pipeline execution telemetry is available at
GET /api/v1/telemetry/pipeline?days=30.
Dashboard#
The DORA page at /dashboard/{workspaceId}/dora shows metric cards
with tier badges and trend charts over time. Use the date range picker
to adjust the lookback window.
