Observability & Site Reliability Engineering

Core Principles

• Three Pillars — Metrics, Logs, and Traces provide holistic visibility
• Observability-First — Build systems that explain their own behavior
• SLO-Driven — Define reliability targets that matter to users
• Proactive Detection — Find issues before customers do
• Blameless Culture — Learn from failures without blame
• Automate Toil — Reduce repetitive operational work
• Continuous Improvement — Each incident makes systems more resilient
• Full-Stack Visibility — Monitor from infrastructure to business metrics
