Google Cloud has released its 10th annual DORA report, which provides industry benchmarks for measuring engineering performance.
The report highlights the impact of AI, the growth of platform engineering, and the importance of developer experience.
AI adoption led to improvements in documentation quality and code review speed, but it also caused a decrease in delivery throughput and stability.
Platform engineering increases productivity for developers, particularly in larger companies, and companies should focus on user-centric design and developer independence for optimal results.
A healthy developer culture is crucial for reducing burnout and increasing productivity, and fostering a supportive culture and prioritizing user needs contribute to software development success.
