Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

🦊 GitLab: A Python Script Calculating DORA Metrics
Four Keys is an open source alternative by Google employees that has been halted earlier this year (but forks-friendly).
- Team is trying to build an entirely custom service to calculate DORA metrics for our company. Is this normal or are we over-stretching ourselves?

“If Elon Musk wanted to destroy his developer teams, the quickest way to do it was stack-ranking developers and measuring lines of code” 1,000%. Only team-based metrics make sense.

"The Pushgateway is not an event store. [...] tracking something like release events has to happen with some event-logging framework."
We began tracking Dora metrics by saving all events from our SCM and CI/CD systems into postres DB. Guidance: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/fourkeys

How do you measure DORA Metrics
For starters, there a number of tools such as Sleuth (disclaimer: am co-founder) that will measure the metrics for you. There are also open source options like Four Keys and many vendors like Gitlab also provide some or all metrics as well, though make sure they are measuring things as you expect.

DORA metrics: a Google open source tool for tracking them
I looked a lot for a tool that could help my team track these metrics. I knew that Jira, Gitlab, and some other tools implement these features but I was looking for something with a high level of customization, and not so coupled to a specific product (we use different systems for deployment, change, and incident) and one day I incidentally discovered FourKeys.

Effective Metrics for Development Teams
GoogleCloudPlatform/fourkeys is a software tool built by Google to generate insights from data based on the four core metrics mentioned above.

How to boost your Engineering Speed & Quality with the right Metrics
One solution we would recommend is the Four Keys project by Google.

How is success measured in your DevOps team? Is anyone using these 4 key metrics?
Yep, in the process of productising Google’s Four Keys pattern. Pretty quick to stand up if you’re already on GCP.

Monitoring with Custom Metrics
In case the Custom Metric is related to a job or a short-living script, consider using Pushgateway.

Bucketed data from jenkins?
So my idea is to have a python script that buckets data and then publishes it again using pushtogateway: https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway

The right tool for pulling data from random via REST API.
Is the cron job with a script for getting metric and pushing via https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway the right way for this task?

On the Prometheus Push Gateway
The push gateway is a relatively simple service. There’s one main entry point file (main.go) and an api file (api.go) both at 279 lines log. There’s probably a dozen or so api endpoints, but the key one is the one where you post metrics, defined here

"The Pushgateway is not an event store. [...] tracking something like release events has to happen with some event-logging framework."
We are currently evaluating timeseries databases to build an internal tool for DORA metrics and just looking at prometheus. As tracking releases is more of a push based use case, I looked at pushgateway and the docs stated the following "The Pushgateway is not an event store. [...] tracking something like release events has to happen with some event-logging framework." here

Ask HN: Prometheus vs. StatsD / Telegraf
While I somehow understand Prometheus idea that pull is easier to scale than push I've had a bad luck with it.
First of all Prometheus doesn't even consider monitoring of long-running jobs other than pull way (which didn't make sense for me). There is push gateway [0] but clients libraries seem to consider it only for short-lived jobs where you can send the metrics at the end [1]. It seems I couldn't "push" from long living jobs trivially
Second when using it for example with django you have to be careful with how you handle multiprocessing that UWSGI/gunicorn does, see [2] - it has bitten me at leas once.
Comparing to push model where I can just push metrics to [3] statsd_exporter directly and be done with it, but support for statsd is lacking both in terms of frameworks (everyone seems to be migrating to native clients...) and functionality (you've to do labeling basically manually [4])
To sum up: Prometheus is really great when it works, until you try to go off-track (intentionally or not, see django [2]) then you see its all undiscovered and immature landscape
What are some alternatives?
DevOpsMetrics - A project to extract and process high performing DevOps metrics (DORA) from GitHub and Azure DevOps
statsd_exporter - StatsD to Prometheus metrics exporter
www-gitlab-com
django-prometheus - Export Django monitoring metrics for Prometheus.io
reliza-cli - CLI to interact with Reliza Hub
prometheus - The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.
client_python - Prometheus instrumentation library for Python applications
json_exporter - A prometheus exporter which scrapes remote JSON by JSONPath
metrics - Kubernetes metrics-related API types and clients
