DORA metrics
📊
We made it simpler than ever to track DORA metrics in Port! DORA metrics help teams measure their performance and improve delivery practices. Our new guide walks you through setting up and tracking these metrics using your existing tools and processes.
Enhanced DevEx with Action Steps
🧑💻
We’ve streamlined the self-service developer experience by introducing
Action Steps
. Now, you can group complex forms into easily manageable steps, making action forms more intuitive and efficient for your team. Learn more in the docs.

Leverage Secrets in Actions and Automations
🔐
Build your custom automated workflows integrating with any API directly with
Secrets Management
in Port! Secrets are securely stored and can now be referenced in your custom actions and automations using {{ secrets.<SECRET_NAME> }}
. Use this feature with the Webhook invocation method to create
no-code, backend-free
automations, seamlessly integrating with any internal or external tools in your stack. For example, See how our own platform team implemented "Page the on-call" action via PagerDuty with no-code. For more details, check out [the docs](https://docs.getport.io/sso-rbac/port-secrets/
Create Service Accounts as users
🤖
Service Accounts
are non-human users (bots) that you can use to integrate external tools and automate daily tasks in Port. You can now leverage Port's robust RBAC system by using them. Associate Service Accounts with teams and roles, or mention them directly in permission settings, just like any other user. This means you can securely automate tasks and workflows while maintaining precise control over permissions.
See the docs to learn more.
Note:
Users and Teams as a blueprint
(currently in beta) is required to use this feature. Learn more on Users and Teams and how to enable it.Small
