CDviz vs DevDynamics

CDviz is an open-source platform for collecting, storing and visualizing software delivery events in the CDEvents standard. Its Collector gathers events from sources such as GitHub, GitLab, ArgoCD, Kubernetes, custom webhooks and HTTP polling, then normalizes them. Grafana dashboards cover DORA metrics, deployment tracking, incidents and artifact timelines. Events are stored in PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB; ClickHouse can serve as a Collector sink, but the dashboards currently require PostgreSQL. Teams can send event streams into downstream automation through webhooks, Kafka, NATS or SSE. The Collector, schemas, Grafana components and transformers are Apache 2.0 licensed and can be self-hosted at no charge. CDviz Cloud receives pipeline event metadata from customer-configured GitHub or GitLab webhooks, without reading source code or requiring write access. Cloud data is isolated by organization, and optional history import covers up to 30 days using a customer-created, scoped read-only token. Community is free forever; Cloud costs €20 a month per organization, excluding VAT, and Pro costs €200 a month per organization, excluding VAT.

DevDynamics connects engineering tools to give software teams visibility into teams, projects, and initiatives. It offers metrics and reports for DORA measures, cycle times, throughput, pull requests, code reviews, and custom metrics, along with capacity forecasting and developer reports for 1:1s. Dyna AI lets engineering leaders ask questions about team wins, performance gaps, and other measures using their actual data. The platform also supports visibility into engineering performance and well-being, working agreements, business alignment, and detection of blockers and burnout risks, with Slack or email notifications. It can be deployed in the cloud or self-hosted and connects with services including GitHub, Jira, GitLab, Slack, and PagerDuty. DevDynamics says it accesses engineering metadata such as pull requests, test runs, and commits, but does not copy, clone, store, scan, or retain source code or repository content. Plans include a free option for up to 9 contributors, one team, and up to 3 Git repositories. Pro costs $20 a month, and the pricing note lists a 21-day trial.
