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