DX Metrics Primer

Ship a lightweight developer-experience dashboard that tracks build times, lint errors, and test pass rates across your monorepo — without pulling in observability SaaS.

Why DX Metrics

Slow feedback loops kill velocity. When CI pipelines take 12 minutes and nobody notices until Friday, the team bleeds throughput. A local-first metrics panel surfaces regressions before they compound.

What You'll Build

  • A single-page dashboard with three cards: build duration, lint violations, test pass percentage.
  • A Node.js script that scrapes ESLint output, Vitest JSON reports, and turbo cache logs.
  • JSON file storage — no database, no vendor lock-in.

Prerequisites

You need a monorepo with ESLint flat config, Vitest, and Turborepo (or any task runner that emits timing data). The collector script assumes a standard packages/* layout.
