Migrate from Propelo (Harness SEI) to Koalr
Everything Harness SEI does — DORA metrics, PR analytics, engineering health scores — plus deployment risk prediction, AI-powered insights, and pricing that doesn't require an enterprise deal. Up and running in under 30 minutes.
What You Get Instead
Every Propelo / Harness SEI feature, mapped to its Koalr equivalent — and what you gain.
Deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and MTTR — all present from day one. Plus a deployment risk trend that surfaces high-risk PRs before they ship.
All your PR metrics carry over: cycle time, review time, throughput by team. Koalr adds a 0–100 risk score on every PR and posts it as a GitHub Check before merge.
Team and service health scores with the same depth you had in Propelo. Ask Koalr: "Which team has the highest change failure rate this quarter?" and get an instant answer.
Koalr connects to GitHub and Jira the same way Propelo does. Also adds Linear, LaunchDarkly for feature flag risk correlation, and PagerDuty — without requiring the full Harness platform.
Migration Steps
No data import required. Koalr reads directly from your GitHub history, Jira, and Linear. You do not need to export anything from Harness SEI.
Install the Koalr GitHub App. Koalr immediately begins backfilling 90 days of PR history — your DORA baselines are populated from day one, no manual import needed.
Authorize via OAuth. Issue-to-PR linkage happens automatically — Koalr maps the same workflows you configured in Harness SEI, without manual re-mapping.
Add engineers and engineering managers by email. Role-based visibility is pre-configured: managers see team-level data, engineers see their own metrics.
When the next PR opens in your repos, Koalr calculates a deployment risk score and posts it as a GitHub Check. Your DORA dashboards are live. Total elapsed time: under 30 minutes.

Common Migration Questions
Do I lose my DORA baselines when I switch?
No. Koalr backfills 90 days of GitHub PR history automatically on connect. Your DORA trends and team benchmarks are available from day one — no manual data export from Harness SEI required.
Will my Jira ticket-to-PR mappings carry over?
Koalr infers ticket-to-PR links from branch names and PR descriptions using the same conventions Propelo uses (e.g. PROJ-123 in branch names). Most teams find their mappings appear automatically without any reconfiguration.
Do I need the full Harness platform to use Koalr?
No. Koalr is a standalone engineering metrics platform. It does not require Harness CI/CD, Harness Feature Flags, or any other Harness module. You connect directly to GitHub, Jira, and your other tools.
Can I run both tools in parallel during the transition?
Yes. Koalr operates independently via the GitHub and Jira APIs and doesn't interfere with any Harness SEI integrations. You can run both side-by-side for as long as you need before cutting over.
How does Koalr pricing compare to Harness SEI?
Koalr is priced at $39 per seat per month with a free trial — no enterprise deal or platform bundle required. Harness SEI pricing is bundled with the Harness platform and typically requires a custom enterprise contract. Most mid-market teams (50–500 engineers) see significant savings with Koalr.
