The Open Benchmark publishes live industry percentiles for the core delivery metrics — computed daily from a curated set of public open-source repositories, and served openly so anyone can see how the wider open-source world ships software. It’s the population-level companion to the free single-repo benchmark: one gives you the industry distribution, the other scores a repo you paste in.

​
What it measures

Percentiles are published for four delivery metrics:

​
Where the numbers come from

  • ~200 curated public repositories. The panel is a hand-picked set of active, well-known open-source projects — each one API-verified as a real, public repository before it counts toward the distribution.
  • Refreshed daily. DevPerform recomputes the panel’s metrics every day, so the published percentiles track the current state of the set rather than a one-time snapshot.
  • Public metadata only. The benchmark reads public pull-request metadata via the host API — no source code, and no personal data of any kind. It’s repository-level metadata, nothing tied to an individual.
The percentiles are available from the public app endpoint:

How to read it honestly

The panel is built from public open-source repositories, and those skew differently from a private team’s repos. Open-source work tends toward larger contributor pools, asynchronous review across time zones, and drive-by contributions — all of which pull cycle time, review latency, and PR size in directions that a co-located product team wouldn’t see. Treat the Open Benchmark as a directional reference for the open-source population, not a target line for your team. For a comparison that actually reflects your code, run your own repository through the free benchmark at devperform.io/benchmark — it scores a single repo against published industry bands in seconds, no signup required.
The Open Benchmark reflects public open-source repositories, which ship differently than private team repos. Use it to understand the open-source distribution; use the free benchmark to see where a specific repo lands.
