Instrumentation Pipeline

Purpose and scope

Describe the event flow and storage model so DORA metrics can be computed automatically.

Outcomes

• Nightly rollups with service/team filters.
• Zero manual spreadsheet steps.
• Backfill capability for schema changes.

Signals of trouble

• Manual copy/paste into dashboards.
• Missing service/team tags in deploy events.
• Incidents lack deploy correlation.

Remediation steps

1. Emit structured events (webhooks/APIs) from SCM, CI/CD, and incident tools.
2. Land events in a warehouse; normalize with dbt or equivalent.
3. Create materialized views for the four DORA metrics.
4. Add data quality checks and alert on missing linkages.

Checklists and assets

• playbooks/measure-dora-metrics/checklist.md for field mapping and validation.
