DX Data Cloud
DX is a developer intelligence platform used by engineering leaders and platform engineers.
DX uses metadata attributes to assign information to individual users.
While it's common to segment users by role, level, or geo, it’s become increasingly
common to use DX attributes to better understand usage and adoption of tools.
You can create a Coder attribute in DX to segment and analyze the impact of Coder usage on a developer’s work, including:
- Understanding the needs of power users or low Coder usage across the org
- Correlate Coder usage with qualitative and quantitative engineering metrics, such as PR throughput, deployment frequency, deep work, dev environment toil, and more.
- Personalize user experiences
Requirements
- A DX subscription
- Access to Coder user data through the Coder CLI, Coder API, an IdP, or an existing Coder-DX integration
- Coordination with your DX Customer Success Manager
Extract Your Coder User List
You can use the Coder CLI, Coder API, or your Identity Provider (IdP) to extract your list of users.
If your organization already uses the Coder-DX integration, you can find a list of active Coder users directly within DX.
CLI
Use users list to export the list of users to a CSV file:
coder users list > users.csv
Visit the users list documentation for more options.
API
Use get users:
curl -X GET http://coder-server:8080/api/v2/users \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Coder-Session-Token: API_KEY'
To export the results to a CSV file, you can use the jq tool to process the JSON response:
curl -X GET http://coder-server:8080/api/v2/users \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Coder-Session-Token: API_KEY' | \
jq -r '.users | (map(keys) | add | unique) as $cols | $cols, (.[] | [.[$cols[]]] | @csv)' > users.csv
Visit the get users documentation for more options.
IdP
If your organization uses a centralized IdP to manage user accounts, you can extract user data directly from your IdP.
This is particularly useful if you need additional user attributes managed within your IdP.
Contact your DX Customer Success Manager
Provide the file to your dedicated DX Customer Success Manager (CSM).
Your CSM will import the CSV of individuals using Coder, as well as usage frequency (if applicable) into DX to create a Coder attribute.
After the attribute is uploaded, you'll have a Coder filter option within your DX reports allowing you to:
- Perform cohort analysis (Coder user vs non-user)
- Understand unique behaviors and patterns across your Coder users
- Run a study or setup a PlatformX event for deeper analysis
