SLOs, SLIs & Error Budgets
Define what 'reliable enough' means in numbers — then balance speed against stability.
Reliability is a spectrum, and chasing 100% wastes money you could be spending on features. I define SLIs that track what users actually feel, set honest SLO targets, and turn the gap into an error budget.
That budget becomes a shared, numeric way to decide when to push new work and when to slow down and harden — so reliability stops being an argument and starts being a measurement.
What's included
- SLIs that reflect real user experience
- Realistic SLO targets per service
- Error-budget policy & burn-rate alerts
- Automated SLI measurement from live metrics
- Reliability reporting for stakeholders
