5 - Collect more usage metrics

We record more usage metric, to identify the adaption of old and new features in real world projects.

Value

Enables us to prioritize upcoming efforts on existing features:
- helps to deprecate and remove no longer used features, that cost us maintenance efforts
- give more manpower and thought on heavily used stuff
Decisions based on facts, not on gut feelings
Getting real data out of last years CodeCamp efforts: https://community.axonivy.com/d/678-usage-statistics
We started to track the performance; boot-time duration + usage metric collection time

Version

12.0.4

Discussion

Any wishes for other important metrics, to base our decisions onto?

Next steps

Collect market products, which are in use in the field
