Serverless SLO Definition and Monitoring

This skill provides expertise in defining and monitoring Service Level Objectives for serverless applications.

Overview

SLOs define the reliability targets for your services, enabling data-driven decisions about feature development vs. reliability work.

Key Concepts

• SLI (Service Level Indicator): Quantitative measure of service behavior (latency, error rate)
• SLO (Service Level Objective): Target value for an SLI (99.9% availability)
• Error Budget: Allowable amount of unreliability (100% - SLO target)
• Burn Rate: How quickly error budget is being consumed
