While there have been many widely reported and shared surveys on technology delivery team behavior that define the metrics for high performers at CircleCI, they are privileged to have the vantage point of being able to review truly massive amounts of data on how technology delivery teams are behaving in the wild. Their cloud continuous integration and continuous delivery platform processes over 1.6 million job runs per day for more than 40,000 organizations and over 150,000 projects.
