Deployment Frequency

A DORA metric measuring how often an organization successfully deploys code to production.

Definition

Higher deployment frequency usually indicates smaller batch sizes, which reduce risk per change and speed feedback. Elite performers deploy on demand, often multiple times per day.

Example

A team tracks pipeline runs that reach the production stage each week to report deployment frequency.

Exam tip

Deployment frequency is a throughput metric, not a stability metric.
