DORA Metrics: The Truth about Speed and Stability

DORA metrics reshaped how engineering leaders think about speed and reliability—but what happens when the data tells a different story? Drawing on one of the largest code-level analyses ever conducted, this report uncovers surprising patterns in how teams ship software, where failures really come from, and why conventional indicators often miss the signals that matter most. If you rely on DORA alone, you may be overlooking the deeper forces shaping both speed and stability.
