Discoverability surfaces
One of the four DORA metrics measuring software-delivery performance. Counts how often code is deployed to production: elite teams deploy multiple times per day; high-performing teams deploy once per day to once per week; medium-performing teams deploy once per month to once per six months; low-performing teams deploy less than once per six months. High deployment frequency correlates with lower batch sizes, faster feedback, and higher organizational reliability.
