Engineering Productivity Software for Delivery Leaders | Middleware | WarmIndex

Middleware is an open-source and SaaS engineering productivity platform designed for delivery leaders to track DORA metrics, unify SDLC tools like Jira and Git, and gain actionable insights into software delivery performance.

🚀 Overview

Middleware provides engineering teams with a unified platform to measure productivity, spot bottlenecks, and streamline software delivery. It collects data from tools across the SDLC, offering dashboards for key metrics and AI-powered insights to align engineering with business goals.

Hundreds of teams use it to achieve 2.6x faster bottleneck resolution, 87% less time on reports, and 3x better project predictability.

What problem does this project solve? Unpredictable software delivery caused by misalignments between teams, invisible bottlenecks, scattered tools, and lack of standardized productivity metrics like DORA.
Who is it built for? Engineering leaders, delivery managers, VPEs, and teams using Jira, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
Why did you build it? To empower leaders with crystal-clear visibility and data-driven decisions, inspired by DORA research and real-world struggles in software delivery.
