Techniques for SLOs and Error Budgets at Scale

Techniques for SLOs and Error Budgets at Scale

Explore techniques for implementing Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Error Budgets at scale in this conference talk from Conf42 Observability 2023. Dive into the challenges of quantifying latency for large-scale systems, learn about the differences between measuring availability and latency, and discover key strategies for democratizing SLOs and error budgets across engineering teams. Gain insights on using raw histograms for accurate latency measurements, decomposing histogram modes, and implementing multi-service SLOs and error budgets. Perfect for engineers and managers looking to improve their observability practices and maintain high-quality service levels in complex, large-scale environments.
