Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) - CI/CD Glossary Definition
MTTR is the average time it takes to restore service after something breaks in production.
Mean time to recovery (MTTR) is the average time to restore service after a production failure. It is a DORA metric measuring how quickly a team detects and recovers from incidents.
How to improve it
Lower MTTR with fast rollbacks, feature flags, good observability, and automated recovery so a fix ships in minutes instead of hours.
