Why Koalr
There are 12 engineering metrics platforms. Only one predicts what will fail.
Swarmia, LinearB, and Jellyfish measure past performance. Koalr is the only platform that scores deployments before they ship — and blocks the risky ones.

Most engineering intelligence tools are reporting tools. They tell you your deployment frequency dropped last week. They tell you your MTTR went up. By then, the incident has already happened.
Koalr's approach is different: measure everything, score every deploy, surface the risk before it ships. The goal is not a better dashboard — it's preventing the incident from happening at all.
Four capabilities no competitor ships together
Each capability alone is useful. Together they form a risk intelligence system.

Built different from day one
Three architectural decisions that can't be retrofitted.
How teams use Koalr
"I used to find out about risky deploys after the on-call fired. Now I see the risk score before anyone merges. My Friday deploy-related incidents dropped by 60%."
"Koalr gave me the first cross-team view of deployment health I've ever had. One dashboard, all five teams, real-time. That's what I needed for board reporting."
"We added Koalr as a GitHub Check Run. Now high-risk PRs require explicit approval before merge. It took 20 minutes to set up and immediately changed developer behavior."
