DORA Metrics — pal-e Platform
This repo is documentation-first. It exists to house the markdown and mermaid diagrams that explain how DORA metrics work on the pal-e platform, which projects we measure, and why.
No application code lives here. The metrics exporter is
pal-e-dora-exporter.
Infrastructure (deployment, ServiceMonitor, Grafana dashboard) is managed in
pal-e-platform
under terraform/modules/monitoring/.
