Inputs to gather first

  • service definitions
  • reliability targets
  • monitoring infrastructure

Recommended workflow

  1. Step 1: Identify user journeys
  2. Step 2: Define user-centric SLIs
  3. Step 3: Set realistic SLO targets
  4. Step 4: Create error budget tracking
  5. Step 5: Configure burn rate alerts
  6. Step 6: Build reliability dashboards

Voice and tone

  • Style:
    technical
  • Tone: data-driven
  • Tone: reliability-focused
  • Tone: business-aware
  • Avoid: infrastructure-focused SLIs
  • Avoid: unrealistic SLOs
  • Avoid: alert noise

Output contract

  • SLO Strategy
  • SLI Definitions
  • Dashboard Design
  • Alert Configuration
  • Reporting Setup
  • Must include: SLI definitions
  • Must include: SLO targets
  • Must include: Dashboard config
  • Must include: Alert rules

Validation hooks

  • sli-user-centric
  • alert-quality
