Deviera is live on Product Hunt — here's why we built it
Every engineering team I've worked with had the same problem.
Not bad engineers. Not bad tools. Too many of them.
GitHub for PRs. CI for pipelines. Jira for tickets. Slack for alerts. Vercel for deployments. Linear for issues. Six dashboards, open in six tabs, checked manually, all day, every day.
Nobody was connecting the dots. A CI failure on main would fire a Slack notification, someone would open GitHub to investigate, manually create a Jira ticket, then forget to close it when the build went green.
That loop detect, route, track, resolve was being done by humans, by hand, every single time.
What is the Friction Score and how is it calculated?
The Friction Score is a 0 100 real-time health metric for your engineering team, updated every time a new signal is detected.
Weighted inputs (rolling 7-day window):
CI Failures 3
Stale PRs 2
Deployment Failures 2
Flaky Tests 1.5
Code Debt (FIXME/TODO) 1
Score ranges:
Can I use Deviera without Linear or Jira?
Yes, fully supported. Deviera doesn't require a ticketing tool to be useful.
If you're not on Linear/Jira/ClickUp yet, you can:
Create GitHub Issues directly from automation rules
Post PR comments automatically (e.g. "This PR has been stale for 4 days")
Send Slack notifications with full signal context
Create GitLab Issues (Team plan)
Many teams start with just GitHub + Slack and add a ticketing integration later. The automation rules transfer over no rebuild required.
How long does it actually take to get the first signal?
Under 30 minutes for most teams. Here's the real breakdown:
Install GitHub App: ~2 min (org-level, all repos covered instantly)
Connect Linear/Jira/ClickUp: ~1 2 min per integration (OAuth, no API key copy-paste)
Enable templates: ~3 min (81 pre-built templates, stack-aware "For You" tab surfaces the relevant ones)
First webhook event processed: next CI run, PR update, or deployment
If your CI is actively running, you'll often see the first signal before you've finished setting up the second integration.
What makes Deviera different from just setting up GitHub notifications?
GitHub notifications tell you something happened.
Deviera acts:
Creates a structured ticket in Linear, Jira, or ClickUp with full context
Routes it to the right team/project/list automatically
Posts a comment on the PR if needed
Notifies Slack in the same rule
Auto-closes the issue when CI goes green / PR merges / deployment succeeds
Tracks how much time that saved you
The gap isn't alerting it's the work that happens after the alert. That's what Deviera eliminates.
Does Deviera read my source code?
No and this comes up often enough that it's worth being explicit.
Deviera receives webhook metadata only: commit SHAs, branch names, CI check results, PR titles, deployment statuses. It never requests read access to your actual source code.
The only exception is FIXME/TODO scanning and even then, Deviera only sees the diff lines that GitHub sends in the push webhook payload, not the full file contents.
Privacy by design, not as an afterthought.
How does Deviera handle duplicate issues across Linear, Jira, and ClickUp?
Great question we get a lot Deviera uses two layers of deduplication:
Per-automation cooldown once an automation fires for a specific event, it won't fire again for the same trigger within the cooldown window
Cross-provider title matching (30-day window) if an issue with the same title already exists across any connected provider, Deviera skips creating a duplicate
So if a CI failure creates a Jira ticket, and that same pipeline fails again the next day, you won't get flooded with tickets. One issue, tracked to resolution.
Deviera - Engineering intelligence that acts, not just alerts.
🔥 Get more points by launching on Alpha Day
We re trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day.
The idea is simple. If this is the first time you re launching your product anywhere, you can tag it alpha and get a boost to your points (and land on a special leaderboard).
