Sleuth

Sleuth is a deployment-based DORA metrics platform that tracks software delivery performance. Teams register deployments, manual changes, and custom impact values through Sleuth's REST registration API and GraphQL surface, then Sleuth computes the four DORA metrics (deploy frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and mean time to recovery) across projects and environments.

Sleuth publishes 5 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Deployments API, Impact API, Manual Changes API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include DORA, DevOps, Deployment Tracking, Engineering Metrics, and Continuous Delivery.

The Sleuth catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Sleuth’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 9 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
