I open-sourced the cockpit we used to understand huge engineering departments in days
My name is Yaniv, and I run Codpal, a CTO-as-a-service company. Over the years we've walked into a lot of new companies, and we always needed the same thing: a fast understanding of how engineering actually runs — what's in the roadmap, what the developers are focused on, who the main developers carrying the work really are.

My name is Yaniv and I run Codpal, a CTO-as-a-service company. We have worked with many new companies and needed a fast understanding of how engineering operates. This includes what's on the roadmap, what developers are focused on, and who the main developers are. As a result, we built Deckgauge which pulls data from Jira, GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps into a single data warehouse.
It provides a cockpit view of development information including DORA metrics, team focus, per-engineer workload, CapEx vs OpEx and an all-in-one board with org-chart views. Deckgauge was largely built by AI agents reviewed by humans on every merge. The tool measures engineering and is itself an experiment in AI-built engineering.
We have now open-sourced Deckgauge so everyone can use it. The repository, live demo and website are provided. The license is FSL-1.1 and it is fully self-hosted.
