The top DevOps tooling metrics and targets at GitLab

GitLab emphasizes the significance of metrics in fostering a successful DevOps practice, focusing on seven key metrics to gauge engineering efficiency and productivity. These include master pipeline stability, with a target above 95%, to ensure the main branch's integrity; review app deployment success rate, targeting above 99%, to verify code stability in the first deployed environment; and Time to First Failure (TtFF) aiming for less than 15 minutes to expedite feedback to engineers. GitLab also tracks the age of open S1 and S2 bugs, targeting under 100 and 300 days, respectively, to prioritize actionable work. Additionally, they measure merge request pipeline duration, with a goal of under 45 minutes, for efficient code merging, and MR pipeline costs, aiming below 7.50, to balance cost and speed. Through these metrics, GitLab invites others to compare and discuss their effectiveness and applicability in different DevOps contexts.
