Zoopla Boosts Deployments & Automation with DORA Metrics

What this post added

This post details how Zoopla adopted and implemented DORA metrics (Production deploy frequency, Lead time, Mean Time To Recover, Change fail rate, Time to onboard) to measure and improve their engineering performance as part of their 'Bedrock' replatforming program. They describe their data sources (GitLab, Blameless, Jenkins), the implementation effort involving Python and a standardized data schema, and the significant improvements achieved in deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, change failure rate, and time to onboard. The post also highlights the cultural changes driven by these metrics and future plans for automation and wider adoption.
