Glue vs Jellyfish: Engineering Metrics vs Codebase Intelligence

Jellyfish measures engineering productivity. Glue measures code health.

Jellyfish: Engineering Metrics

Jellyfish tracks:

• Developer productivity
• Team velocity
• Code review metrics
• Deployment frequency

Use case: "Is our team getting faster?"

Glue: Code Intelligence

Glue analyzes:

• Code complexity
• Technical debt
• Test coverage
• Feature impact

Use case: "Is our code getting healthier?"

The Difference

Jellyfish: Measures activity and speed Glue: Measures code quality and health

You can be fast (Jellyfish) but unhealthy (Glue).

Using Both

1. Jellyfish: Track team velocity and productivity
2. Glue: Track code health and debt
3. Together: Ensure speed doesn't come at cost of quality

Fast + healthy = success Fast + unhealthy = future problems
