Overview
CodeNOW released version 6.5 in October 2021, introducing enhanced DORA metrics and MariaDB service support alongside package management improvements.
Key Features
Application DORA Metrics
The platform redesigned application cards to display daily "Deployment frequency, Lead time for changes, Change failure rate" metrics. These indicators help teams identify bottlenecks and drive continuous improvement at the application level.
Application Card Enhancements
Updated cards now show source code contribution data, including changed lines and commits across components, providing visibility into development activity.
Package Management Tools
Comparison Feature: Users can now compare two application packages side-by-side to identify differences and improvements.
Version-Based Creation: Teams can create new packages using previous versions as templates, simplifying maintenance and version control workflows.
New MariaDB Service
MariaDB (MySQL) became available as a managed service, specifically offering version 10.5.12 for cloud-native deployments.
Helm Generic Scaffolders
A new scaffolder type enables teams to deploy pre-built services without building them locally, supporting container reuse across runtimes.
Target Impact
These additions aim to support cloud-native operations through better visibility and easier service management.
