Understanding Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Your Production Service
In the previous chapters, we looked at the core concepts of modern DevOps – Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment/Delivery (CD). We also looked at various tools and techniques that can help us enable a mature and secure DevOps channel across our organization. In this rather theory-focused chapter, we’ll try to understand some key performance indicators (KPIs) for operating our application in production.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Understanding the importance of reliability
- SLOs, SLAs, and SLIs
- Error budgets
- Recovery Time Objective (RPO) and Recovery Point Objective (RTO)
- Running distributed applications in production
So, let’s get started!
