DORA Metrics in Practice: Make them Observable through your Platform!
Talkat Platform Engineering Day 2025 - Europe · on Tuesday, 2025-04-01· at 13:30· Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room H·
summary
Dynatrace runs an internal platform called Juno platform that tracks CI/CD end to end and maps DORA to business outcomes; it supports ~2,000 engineers and ~300 builds a day across Jenkins, GitHub, Argo and Backstage. A GitLab webhook->OpenTelemetry collector converts pipelines into distributed traces that show exact step durations, skipped checks and failures, enabling dashboards and analytics for deployment frequency, lead time, MTT R and change failure rate. They define SDLC events and adopt OpenTelemetry semantic conventions to make the metrics observable.
