Lean in to this to help your developers
Software development teams need ways to improve all the time. Empowering developers to improve on their own with DORA metrics data can go a long way toward doing more with less.

AMA: Achieving code reliability across the release cycle
Code coverage, arguably a very important measure that we as development teams don’t pay enough attention to. That is until Sentry notifies you of a frustrating/critical/oh s*#t moment. Then we all think: “how could this have been avoided?”, “why didn’t our tests catch it?”, “oh… we didn’t have any coverage on this flow.” With our new Codecov integration, you can avoid regressions (and awkward conversations) by being able to see which lines that caused an issue are covered and which ones are not - right in the stack trace we kick out on every error report.

CircleCI config policies: A tale of empowerment and control
If you’ve worked in a large, security-minded organization, you know how developers’ need for speed often clashes with the organization’s need for security. Often this conflict erupts into a high-stakes battle between two teams with very different priorities and perspectives. Ok, it may not always be so dramatic, but the challenge of control and empowerment is very real.
Automate these to ensure high quality code
Automate your continuous deployment workflows and you'll not only save time, but you'll ensure your code is high quality when it hits production. It's one of Don Brown's (Sleuth CTO) favorite ways to use Sleuth to do more with less. In this video, he shows you a detailed behind-the-scenes view of how to do this in practice.
Developers like DORA metrics too
DORA metrics aren't just for software engineering managers. Individual contributors can like them, too. At Sleuth, our software engineers are team oriented and want to know what their bottlenecks are. Looking at the change lead time DORA metric gives useful insight.
CircleCI Technical Demo + Q&A
Join us for a high level tour of CircleCI, and learn how to most effectively utilize the platform’s features and capabilities. Every first and third Wednesday, we’ll be offering a technical demo so you can learn best practices and have all your CircleCI questions answered. Topics Covered: How it works: the nuts and bolts of the product Why CircleCI can make developers’ jobs easier and more rewarding How CircleCI can support your security posture by ensuring organizational policies and guardrails are met Greater visibility by surfacing trends and status across your organization
Deploy a Dockerized Go application to Azure
As a software engineer, one of your goals is to ensure that your product can be accessed globally by your customers. It’s not enough that an app is bug-free and works flawlessly if it only works on localhost. Docker was introduced to solve the “it works on my machine” problem. For example, the particular version of a programming language a developer is using on Windows or MacOS may not be working on the hosting server.
Pulse-check your engineering team performance
If you're being asked to do more with less on your software engineering team, you need to be able to see at a glance how your team is doing. Are you deploying at a consistent rate? What's your lead time for changes? Where are your bottlenecks? Our CTO, Don Brown, shows how we take a pulse of our performance at Sleuth using DORA metrics.
You need THIS to improve your dev team
Software engineering managers: if you make a change to a team process, how do you measure its impact? Did it work, or didn't it? DORA metrics can give you the data to verify your experiment. Here's an example of how we use DORA metrics to improve at Sleuth.
