Using Sleuth at Sleuth [Stories from the Trenches]
For the final story from the trenches, we're sharing how we ourselves use Sleuth at Sleuth to track Accelerate / DORA metrics, find bottlenecks, and automate to deploy faster.

Code Coverage: Is 90-95% really necessary?
Code coverage, or test coverage, refers to the percentage of your source code that are "covered" by your test suite. Presumably, the higher the better, right? Not necessarily, Don explains in this video. SLEUTH A deploy-based Accelerate Metrics tracker both managers and developers love.
How to Reduce Change Lead Time
The time it takes to get a change into production, also known as Change Lead Time, is an important measure of developer productivity, and one of the four DORA metrics. In Sleuth, you can easily break down Change Lead Time into activities to get insights into potential bottlenecks. SLEUTH A deploy-based Accelerate Metrics tracker both managers and developers love.
How to easily track DORA metrics
With Sleuth, you can instantly and automatically track the four DORA metrics: Change Lead Time, Deploy Frequency, Change Failure Rate, and MTTR. No more, no less. Sleuth tracks them accurately, doesn't attempt to track dubious individual metrics, and doesn't require any manual work.

How to set up Sleuth in minutes
Setting up Sleuth is easy a caveman can do it 😜 Seriously, all you need to do is enable a few integrations with tools in your toolchain, plus one extra optional step that'll signficantly improve the accuracy of your DORA metrics.

Going from 1 deploy every 3 months to once a week at Reciprocity [Stories from the Trenches]
A story from Don's time at Reciprocity where they went from deploying once every 3 months to once a week! How did they do it? As it turns out, what was blocking them wasn't really a technical problem.
Deploying a Monolith vs. Microservices at Confluence [Stories from the trenches]
A story from Don's time at Atlassian with Confluence, where they wrangled with a monolith and succeeded in speeding up deploys through microservices.
Stories from the Trenches: Hipchat - Developers Doing Deploys
Another story from Don's time at Atlassian, this time with Hipchat (the OG chat service before Slack became popular), where the small and mighty team was doing software delivery in a very modern way (at the time).
Stories from the Trenches: Atlassian - Why Devs Need to Be Involved in Production
A story from Don's time at Atlassian back when they tended to release software every 2-3 months, and why developers need to be involved in deploying to production.
"Accelerate" your team with Sleuth
The larger your team grows and the faster your teams move, the harder it is for engineering leaders to find trust but verify moments, the moments where you should dig in and make sure your team's health is improving. Imagine a world where all your engineering tools are working together such that accurate and insightful trust but verify moments come to you. Imagine a world where you have the finest Sleuth in the world, working just for you.
