Lightning Talk: DORA metrics in a GitOps World: Conflict or Conflux?

summary
DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time to change, change failure rate, mean time to recovery) map cleanly to GitOps CI/CD tooling like kops for application deployments but break down across layers: GitOps manages infrastructure, applications, and shared services, and DORA lacks a way to quantify infrastructure reliability, service quality, or business-level KPIs. Conclusion: DORA is useful for pipeline speed and quality but insufficient alone for GitOps; next step is experimental implementations that pull real metrics from kops-controlled stacks and correlate them with service SLAs.
