The document discusses an SCM Dashboard that provides metrics and reports on code velocity at the product, project, and branch level. It aggregates data from sources like Perforce and displays it using a portal interface. The dashboard is built using a Hadoop and MongoDB architecture to handle large amounts of data from multiple servers in a distributed, scalable manner. MapReduce jobs in Python are used to extract metrics from the raw Perforce data and upload it to MongoDB collections for querying and display in the dashboard portal.
