**Pillars:** [Development Health Signal Platform](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure-platforms/developer-experience/development-analytics/#development-health-signal-platform), [Customer Zero -> Product Influence](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure-platforms/developer-experience/development-analytics/#customer-zero---product-influence) **Handbook:** [FY27 Q3/Q4 Roadmap](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure-platforms/developer-experience/development-analytics/#fy27-q3q4-roadmap) ### Problem Statement Modular Component teams have no CI or test observability by default. The product covers some basics (e.g. DORA metrics and pipeline status), but teams have to build everything else themselves or go without: test results, failure categories, job duration trends, and more. This is the gap ~"group::development analytics" work targets. We define what good observability looks like for a Modular Component, wire it up on real components, and work toward making it the default for every team that builds on Theseus. The long-term direction is a catalog of signals a team can opt into based on where they are in their component lifecycle. Q3 focus: understand what the product already covers, map the signal gaps, get the scaffold working reliably end to end, and get metrics flowing for at least one real component (Artifact Registry or Orbit). ### Participants - @pjphillips (EM) - @ddieulivol (DRI) - @sslopes - @richard.chong ### Exit Criteria - [ ] The product signal gaps for Modular Components are documented (what the product gives, what is missing). - [ ] A signal inventory exists: every CI/test signal mapped against product coverage and Modular Component relevance. - [ ] A pet project can be scaffolded in three bench commands and produces metrics in ClickHouse. - [ ] At least one real Modular Component (Artifact Registry or Orbit) has metrics flowing to ClickHouse. ### Topics | Area | Issue | Status | |------|-------|--------| | SDLC friction inventory for Modular Components | https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/analytics/team/-/issues/766 | 📋 Planned | | Product signal audit: what does GitLab give a Modular Component team today | https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/analytics/team/-/issues/767 | 📋 Planned | | Scaffold experience: three bench commands, metrics in ClickHouse (sub-epic) | https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/quality/analytics/-/epics/58 | 🚧 In progress | | Migration path: bring Artifact Registry and Orbit onto the current observability stack | https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/analytics/team/-/issues/768 | 📋 Planned | | Wire metrics to Observer: Artifact Registry or Orbit | https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/analytics/team/-/issues/708 | 📋 Planned | | Dashboard discoverability: surface dashboards to teams at setup time | https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/analytics/team/-/issues/769 | 📋 Planned | | Theseus Adoption Score (lower priority) | https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/analytics/team/-/issues/770 | 📋 Planned | ### Development Log <!-- STATUS NOTE START --> ## Status 2026-09-11 No progress this week. :clock1: **total hours spent this week by all contributors**: 0h :tada: **achievements**: - :construction: **in progress**: - [Scaffold a Modular Component and see metrics in ClickHouse](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/quality/analytics/-/work_items/58): Go and Rust exporters wired, a few pipeline gaps remaining. :issue-blocked: **blockers**: - :arrow_forward: **next**: - Clear remaining scaffold gaps and confirm end-to-end data flow to ClickHouse. _Copied from https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/quality/analytics/-/epics/49#note_3818824582_ <!-- STATUS NOTE END -->
