Google's Site Reliability Engineering book (2016) popularized a counterintuitive principle: accept failure as inevitable and invest in recovery speed. The DORA research confirmed it with data — the difference between elite and low-performing teams isn't that elite teams have fewer incidents. It's that they recover in under an hour instead of under a week. Every engineering organization invests in preventing failures. Fewer invest in recovering from them quickly. The data says this is backwards.

Not every company can send engineering data to the cloud. Regulated industries, government contractors, and security-conscious organizations need their metrics platform on-premise — inside their own network, on their own servers. According to the CNCF Annual Survey, over 80% of organizations now run Kubernetes in production, making container-based on-premise deployment a well-understood operational pattern.

PanDev Metrics supports full on-premise deployment via Docker Compose (for small teams) and Kubernetes with Helm (for larger organizations). This guide covers both paths, including LDAP authentication, TLS certificates, and persistent storage.
