Electron Repo: Dora Metrics and Deployments
There's a high probability that a bunch of desktop apps you are using are built with Electron. Electron is a framework that combines Node.js, parts of Chromium, and a layer of native code. Apps like Visual Studio Code, Slack, Atom, WhatsApp, or even the installer for Microsoft’s Visual Studio use it to build for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Though Electron has its own fanbase, many flock to its competitor, Tauri, for its significantly better startup times and lower memory consumption.
Having said that, with over 114k stars and 15.3k forks, and a thriving community of 1300 contributors, Electron is not going anywhere anytime soon.
As part of our 100 days 100 case studies of top Github repositories, we also toyed around the Electron repo, analyzing their dora metrics using Middleware Open-source. Check out how Middleware helps track a project’s engineering pipeline in this live demo.
