Digging the issue-related automations. Have struggled with aligning PMs and devs around what work has been done and keeping it up to date on the issue tracker side. This seems like it would automate that manual step.

Hey all, Dylan here, co-founder of Sleuth (http://sleuth.io), along with Don and Michael. We just launched a powerful automations framework and marketplace that allows dev teams to discover and implement best practice workflows with a single click. We’re excited to share and to make life easier for developers and teams.

For background, Sleuth makes improving engineering efficiency easy and continuous. We started by focusing on tracking DORA metrics to give teams useful insight they can act on to improve (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27974573). We built first-class integrations that span your entire software delivery tech stack, from ticketing and change management all the way through to CI/CD and observability tools.

Now, we’re leveraging that foundation to allow teams to improve engineering efficiency even more rapidly, continuously and easily with automation. We’ve built a bunch of engineering best practices into no-code automations that you can install via a single click from our Automations Marketplace (https://marketplace.sleuth.io/ ). These will help your teams drive improvements across their entire engineering tech stack.

We built this to give software teams the capabilities they’ve always wanted, but that are often too much lift to invest in. We see four key categories of these capabilities:

PR Checks – They’re like linters for your PR process. They let you analyze pull requests to ensure they conform to industry best practices, cutting down review time and improving morale by relieving reviewers of the onus of “policing” best practices.

Notifications – drive awareness, nudge things in the right direction and help teams respond quickly by automatically alerting them when Sleuth determines there’s something they need to know.

Actions – provide a variety of simple, if-this-then-that automations targeted across your software delivery tool chain, that allow you to modify a state in an external system — like automatically transitioning or commenting on a Jira issue to let stakeholders know immediately when a change they care about has deployed to its target environment.

Workflows – provide advanced automations that can evaluate conditions and perform actions across multiple integrated tools. If you’ve ever wanted Slack-based approvals for deploys moving from staging to production, now you have have it with a single click.

We’d love for you to check them all out in our Marketplace and let us know what feedback you have. Thanks in advance!
