It's Friday afternoon, and you have mail. Apparently, a user received a 500 error when attempting to sign in. She contacted Customer Service. They didn't know what to do, so they forwarded the email to your engineering team. A close look at the email thread reveals that Customer Service received it... on Tuesday. And they sat on it until today. Hopefully, it was just this one user. You open your browser, navigate to the web application, and attempt to sign in. You also get a 500 error.

This post is the second in a series of deeper dive articles on the four DORA metrics. The first metric we looked at was Deployment Frequency, which is about how often code can get released to end users. In this second article, we’ll look at Change Lead Time, arguably the metric most familiar to developers.

Deployment tracking, move fast without breaking things. When a deployment causes downtime, reduced performance, or customer facing bugs, Sleuth knows. Drawing from the best in class tools your engineering teams already use such as source control, APM, issue and error tracking. We equip your teams with the data needed to dramatically reduce downtime!
How Sleuth Deployment Tracking Works:
- Detect: When a deployment causes downtime, reduced performance, or bugs, our impact detection engine knows. Quickly identify, resolve, and re-deploy.
- Alert: Real-time Slack notifications fine-tuned to only the information you care about. Consolidate all your DevOps-related notifications into a single, powerful channel.
- Command: Track releases from staging to production. Know what's deployed, and what's coming. Understand the impact, and fix shit when it goes wrong.
- Control: Create order and eliminate release lag with PR-based workflows. Manage approvals, lock deployments, and ship with confidence.
Deploy Your Code With Confidence!
