I Have an SLO. Now What? | Alex Hidalgo on 99 Percent Visible

It’s 2020: There is a plethora of data available about measuring SLIs and setting SLO targets. But, now that you have this data, what are you actually supposed to do with it?

99 Percent Visible Tech Talks with Luis Mineiro

The industry has defined it as good practice to have as few alerts as possible, by alerting on symptoms that are associated with end-user pain rather than trying to catch every possible way that pain could be caused.

Announcing Change Intelligence

Powered by cutting-edge distributed tracing and a groundbreaking metrics database, and built by the team that launched observability at Google, Lightstep’s Change Intelligence provides actionable insights to help teams answer the question “What caused that change?

SLA vs SLO vs SLI: All you need to know

Learn the definition and differences between SLA (Service-level agreement), SLO (Service-level objective), and SLI (Service-level indicator). Forrest will break each SL(x) down with examples.
