Announcing Faros Community Edition — The open-source EngOps platform
What is Faros?
What can you do with Faros CE?
- How your lead time compares to known industry benchmarks
- The evolution of lead time for each of your applications over time, and
- The breakdown of lead time by stage, so you can start to see where the bottlenecks are in your software delivery process – whether its code reviews, QA or build times.
Lead times by application, by stage and over time
How is Faros CE built?
- Airbyte for a rich and ever-expanding trove of data connectors
- Hasura for flexible and scalable data APIs
- dbt for data transformations that massage and enrich the data
- Metabase for a full-fledged BI layer on top of the transformed data, and
- n8n for automation so teams can create the workflows they need from their operational data
Faros CE architecture
- Contributed or enhanced Airbyte data connectors for the most common engineering data sources (think source control, task management, incident management etc.)
- Pre-packaged a generalized engineering operations schema with an airbyte destination for mapping source data to the schema
- Created data transformations, and built basic dashboards in metabase to provide a good starting point for visibility.

Overview
It was strikingly obvious that the engineering function in most companies my peers and I worked for, have not been able to fully leverage all the data in a unified manner. The problem - data is often scattered across disparate systems. A better data-driven approach is a must if we want to move from gut-feeling and guesswork to intelligent actions that impact real business outcomes.

Guides
Lead time measures the velocity of an engineering organization in delivering software — from idea to production. Shorter lead times mean shorter turnaround times for new feature requests, incident resolutions, bug fixes etc. In this blog post, learn more about lead time and cycle time for software delivery, and how to measure them.
