Middleware

Engineering productivity and delivery visibility platform for engineering leaders

Visit Middleware

Middleware is an engineering productivity platform that connects to tools across a team's software development lifecycle, such as Jira and Git, to surface delivery metrics and reduce the manual effort of reporting. It aims to give engineering leaders visibility into bottlenecks, project flow, and delivery predictability.

Key capabilities include Cockpit for customizable dashboards, Project Flow metrics, DORA metrics, Pull Request Insights, and Roadmap for tracking timelines and allocations. AI-generated summaries translate raw data into plain-language narratives, while automated trends and reports replace manual tracking. The Playbook module lets teams set recurring alerts and check-ins for metrics like cycle time and unreviewed PRs. Middleware is available as a Cloud App and a Jira Plugin, and is also offered as open source.

Middleware is aimed at engineering leaders and technical project managers who need to track delivery health and align teams around priorities. It offers a free 15-day trial, a free community plan, and paid tiers, with an open-source option for self-hosting.
