LinearB
Engineering intelligence platform: DORA metrics, gitStream PR automation, and AI reviews.
About
LinearB is an engineering analytics platform aimed at leaders who want visibility into how software gets built. It reports DORA metrics, cycle time, and throughput against benchmarks drawn from millions of pull requests, and its gitStream layer automates PR workflows: assigning reviewers by code ownership, labeling estimated review time, and triggering extra review on sensitive files. Recent additions include AI code reviews, AI-generated PR descriptions, an AI Insights dashboard tracking AI adoption, and an MCP server for querying engineering data in chat.
The honest picture: pricing is per-contributor with a complex credit model that some teams find opaque, and AI attribution depends on labeling discipline. Some developers raise surveillance concerns about the depth of data collection, and onboarding friction shows up repeatedly in user feedback.
