Dashboards can look healthy while users experience latency, errors, or degraded workflows.
Case 10
SLO-Driven Monitoring
Dashboards can look healthy while users experience latency, errors, or degraded workflows.
01
Evidence
Problem, constraints, architecture, result.
Service ownership, error budgets, burn-rate alerts, noisy dependencies, and product-facing reliability language.
SLO model with user-centric indicators, burn-rate alerts, Grafana-style views, incident thresholds, and runbook context near alerts.
Monitoring shifts from raw infrastructure charts to reliability decisions teams can act on.

Cloud-Native AI Gateway
AI usage needs routing, policy, budget awareness, and provider resilience.
Result: AI becomes operable infrastructure, not an opaque API call.
Kanister Backup & Restore
Application-aware Kubernetes restores need more than volume snapshots and manual runbooks.
Result: Restore behavior becomes repeatable, reviewable, and easier to exercise before an incident.
GitOps: Argo CD & Flux
Teams need a clear delivery model before GitOps becomes another layer of operational confusion.
Result: GitOps decisions become explicit platform contracts instead of tool preference debates.
