What it does

Key features

  • Investment distribution — APAC feature/bug/tech-debt/on-call time allocation view
  • DORA metrics — APAC deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, CFR from GitHub
  • Developer experience — APAC eNPS and focus time surveys correlated with delivery
  • Working agreements — APAC PR size, review coverage, aging norms (non-blocking)
  • Linear/Jira integration — APAC initiative tracking alongside GitHub git metrics
  • Team health — APAC on-call load, meeting time, and interruption visibility
When to reach for it

Best for

  • APAC engineering leaders wanting investment distribution data — Swarmia quantifies how APAC team time splits across features/bugs/tech debt without manual APAC time tracking
  • APAC engineering organizations caring about developer experience — Swarmia's APAC survey + DORA correlation identifies when APAC team health issues are affecting delivery metrics
  • APAC teams using Linear for project management — Swarmia's native Linear integration provides APAC initiative-level work distribution without requiring Jira for APAC project tracking
Don't get burned

Limitations to know

  • ! GitHub-first integration — Swarmia works primarily with GitHub; APAC teams on GitLab or Azure DevOps have limited APAC native integration compared to LinearB
  • ! Higher per-seat price than LinearB — Swarmia's pricing tier is typically higher than LinearB free tier; APAC teams compare total contract value for their APAC team size
  • ! Less APAC DORA depth than Sleuth — Swarmia's strength is investment distribution and developer experience; APAC teams prioritizing deployment tracking and incident correlation should evaluate Sleuth
Context

About Swarmia

Swarmia is an engineering effectiveness platform that combines DORA delivery metrics with investment distribution analytics and developer experience data for APAC software teams — where APAC engineering managers connect GitHub and Linear (or Jira), and Swarmia automatically categorizes APAC engineering work into initiatives, calculates DORA metrics, and shows how APAC team time is distributed across feature work, bug fixing, tech debt, and on-call without requiring APAC engineers to manually time-track.

Swarmia's investment distribution view — where APAC engineering leaders see what percentage of APAC team time over the past quarter was spent on features (planned product work), unplanned work (bugs, incidents), tech debt (refactoring, infrastructure), and developer experience improvement — provides APAC engineering and product management a shared, automatically-generated view of how APAC engineering capacity is actually allocated versus how it is planned, without relying on APAC project management tool accuracy.

Swarmia's developer experience focus — where APAC engineering managers configure regular automated APAC developer experience surveys (eNPS, focus time satisfaction, on-call burden, meeting load), and Swarmia correlates APAC developer experience signals with DORA metrics (teams with high APAC on-call burden show lower deployment frequency) — provides APAC engineering leaders insight into systemic APAC team health issues that pure DORA metrics miss.

Swarmia's working agreements — where APAC engineering teams configure lightweight norms (maximum APAC PR size, minimum review coverage, APAC PR aging alerts) that Swarmia monitors and reports on without hard process enforcement — provides APAC engineering teams a way to establish shared APAC engineering practices and measure adherence without bureaucratic APAC gate requirements.
