Certain service-level objective examples can help organizations get started on measuring and delivering metrics that matter. Teams can build on these SLO examples to improve application performance and reliability. In this post, I’ll lay out five SLO examples that every DevOps and SRE team should consider.

To get a more granular look into telemetry data, many analysts rely on custom metrics using Prometheus. Named after the Greek god who brought fire down from Mount Olympus, Prometheus metrics have been transforming observability since the project’s inception in 2012.

That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags. In addition to tracing, observability also defines two other key concepts, metrics and logs. When software runs in a monolithic stack on on-site servers, observability is manageable enough.
