DX Data Cloud

On this page

DX is a developer intelligence platform used by engineering leaders and platform engineers.

DX uses metadata attributes to assign information to individual users. While it's common to segment users by role, level, or geo, it’s become increasingly common to use DX attributes to better understand usage and adoption of tools.

You can create a Coder attribute in DX to segment and analyze the impact of Coder usage on a developer’s work, including:

  • Understanding the needs of power users or low Coder usage across the org
  • Correlate Coder usage with qualitative and quantitative engineering metrics, such as PR throughput, deployment frequency, deep work, dev environment toil, and more.
  • Personalize user experiences

Requirements

  • A DX subscription
  • Access to Coder user data through the Coder CLI, Coder API, an IdP, or an existing Coder-DX integration
  • Coordination with your DX Customer Success Manager

Extract Your Coder User List

Use users list with jq to export the list of users to a CSV file:

coder users list --output json | \ jq -r '["username","email","created_at","status"], (.[] | [.username, .email, .created_at, .status]) | @csv' > users.csv

Visit the users list documentation for more options.

Contact your DX Customer Success Manager

Provide the file to your dedicated DX Customer Success Manager (CSM).

Your CSM will import the CSV of individuals using Coder, as well as usage frequency (if applicable) into DX to create a Coder attribute.

After the attribute is uploaded, you'll have a Coder filter option within your DX reports allowing you to:

  • Perform cohort analysis (Coder user vs non-user)
  • Understand unique behaviors and patterns across your Coder users
  • Run a study or setup a PlatformX event for deeper analysis
