LinearB Gives You Metrics.
Middleware Gives You Momentum.

While LinearB provides more metrics, Middleware provides more value by turning those metrics into clear actions that drive improved delivery outcomes.

⚡ Why Middleware?

Metrics Alone Don’t Drive Change. Middleware Does.

LinearB overwhelms teams with metrics without providing clear direction on what to do with them. Middleware cuts through the noise to deliver actionable insights that drive real change, helping teams identify and address the bottlenecks that actually matter.

Still On the Fence? Let’s Break It Down.

"We already have dashboards and metrics"

Most teams start with dashboards and metrics, but quickly hit a wall where knowing the problem doesn't help solve it. Middleware goes beyond metrics to identify specific bottlenecks and provide actionable recommendations. Our customers report spending less time analyzing data and more time implementing improvements

"LinearB offers more metrics and data points"

More metrics doesn't mean better outcomes. Middleware focuses on the metrics that matter and turn them into action. Our streamlined approach prevents cognitive overload and helps teams focus on what will actually move the needle on delivery performance

"LinearB is good for DORA metrics"

So is Middleware. But we go even further. While LinearB provides these metrics, Middleware shows you how to improve them. We provide actionable insights that turn metrics into outcomes.

"LinearB's industry benchmarks are valuable"

Benchmarks are only valuable if they lead to improvement. Middleware not only provides context for your metrics but directly identifies what's holding you back from achieving better results, rather than just showing you how you compare

💬 Testimonials

What Delivery Leaders Feel About Middleware

  • Middleware enabled tracking of sprint health, performance & growth

    Our team has gotten healthier and more collaborative than ever before. It’s just been absolutely fantastic. The team at Middleware is always around, always available, I don’t know when they sleep.

    Kris Chase

    VP Engineering

  • Something we couldn’t get with other tools

    Middleware has very robust data reports for both Jira and Github which is something we had trouble finding with other tools. We are able to get a more hollistic view of how well our teams are performing and identify gaps and bottlenecks that need to be addressed.

    Marisa Bernstein

    Technical Project Manager

  • The visibility into our processes we wanted

    Our aha moment was when we could really see how long each story point actually took our team. The time saved now can be used to make our developers more productive by working closely with them.

    Madanlal Arora

    AVP Engineering

  • Jellyfish never clicked for me

    Even with all that runway of maturity that they’ve developed, it wasn’t solving the problems. I didn’t like it. Middleware, on the other hand, felt like it was built exactly for me. I’ve tried Jira, GitHub, spreadsheets — everything. Middleware is what finally gave me my Fridays back.
