Introducing Faros Community Edition (Faros CE)!

Today, we are excited to announce that we have open-sourced a community edition of Faros that is now available for free on GitHub.

Faros CE is a container-based deployment that leverages 100% open-source components. With Faros CE, you get a no-code, flexible, and extensible solution for engineering operational data that is ready in minutes. Read our blog post to find out more!

Check out our new Engineering Productivity module.

This module helps engineering teams track velocity and progress towards current goals across every stage of the SDLC. You can now better understand the unplanned work that may be competing for your team's attention. We also provide industry benchmarks to help you understand what elite/high performant teams look like.

Dashboard sharing is now live.

Easily embed Faros dashboards in Confluence pages, Notion docs and more! Sharing pre-canned reports with the rest of your organization is easier than ever before.

Read more about Dashboard Sharing in the Faros Documentation.

Custom flows are here!

This month, we released a much-awaited feature: enabling our users to define custom flows in Faros.

A Faros flow can be used to describe any organizational process, such as your task management process or your deployment process.

Faros automatically computes various metrics around these flows, such as the end-to-end cycle time for the flow and the time spent in the different custom stages. Use flows to easily identify bottlenecks in your processes.

For more information, visit Custom Flows in the Faros Documentation.

Introducing new DORA dashboards (beta) and Teams Activity Log table.

With the new DORA dashboards, you get an at-a-glance view at how your teams perform as well as the ability to drill down deeper when necessary.

For more information, please view Pre-Built Dashboards in the Faros documentation.

Teams Activity Log table

Using the new Activity Log table, you can extend your dashboards to understand how your teams are spending their time: feature work or dealing with incidents.

Introducing new UI for Data Transforms, Faros CI/CD GitHub Action, and Faros CDK for Airbyte connectors.

Data Transform UI

👷‍♀️ Using our new UI, you can now map custom fields of your source systems to fields of our graph entities. You can also transform entities into other entities (Tasks to Incidents, for example).

Faros CI/CD GitHub Action

🏗 Now you can instrument your CI/CD workflows on GitHub Actions simply by using our Faros CI/CD GitHub Action!

Faros Destination for Airbyte

⚡ Write data from any Airbyte source into your Faros graph using the universal Faros Destination for Airbyte. If an input stream is not supported, just use JSONata to transform it, by passing an expression through the config.

Faros CDK for Airbyte connectors

🛠 Build your own Airbyte source/destination in TypeScript/JavaScript with Faros AI CDK. For more information, visit the Airbyte site.

Introducing custom dashboards, new dashboards, and Event CLI.

Custom Dashboards

Visualize and track what matters most to your organization! Use our new UI to create your own dashboards with your own custom metrics and charts.

For more information, please look at Custom Dashboards in the Faros documentation.

New Dashboards

We now have dozens of new dashboards and hundreds of new charts providing visibility into the Throughput, Speed, Quality, and Investment areas of engineering orgs. The different dashboards provide differing lenses into the metrics, allowing users to drill down into teams, applications, or projects.

Event CLI

Now you can instrument your CI/CD pipelines using our Event CLI.

‍

Get an overview of your lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and more with the DORA metrics dashboard. Simply connect up your CI/CD and source control systems to Faros, and begin to identify bottlenecks in your engineering pipelines and processes.

For more information, please look at our pre-built dashboards in the Faros documentation.

Now, in addition to the programmatic APIs and CLI, you can manage Faros from the Faros Console. The console will be the single place from where you can manage your data sources, schema, applications, and workflows!
