Software teams constantly balance speed and quality, but production issues remain a major drain on resources. Our latest State of Shift Left study, based on input from 280 developers, highlights key trends in testing, troubleshooting, and cost optimization.
Key Insights
- 62% of teams rely on automated testing, yet 30% still lack proper performance testing, leaving them exposed to production bottlenecks.
- Engineering teams spend 10-35% of their capacity on production issues, with diagnostics consuming up to 70% of that time.
- Despite rising cloud costs, only 25.7% of teams optimize code-level inefficiencies, missing a major cost-saving opportunity.
The data shows that traditional observability methods aren’t enough. Shifting issue detection left—before deployment—helps teams reduce cloud waste, cut troubleshooting time, and ship more reliable software.
