Highlights

As code flows through your CI workflows, it is processed by plenty of different steps. Each step depends on various configuration and parts that change frequently. Even though your pipeline has a solid setup, it may slow you down while identifying the problems during you deploy to the production.

A common challenge for software organizations is ensuring that all stakeholders โ€” developers, DevOps engineers, SREs โ€” have across-the-board visibility into the software delivery process. The reason you need workflow analytics is to identify issues and enhance organization-wide visibilty on your workflows.

Foresight allows you to identify those in the most quick way to enable you to have better workflow operations.
