We all know not to poke at alien life forms in another planet, right? But what about metrics, do you know how to pick, measure and draw conclusions from them? In this talk we will cover various Site Reliability Engineering topics, such as SLIs and SLOs while we explore real life examples of defining and implementing metrics in a system with examples using Prometheus, an open-source system monitoring and alert platform, to demonstrate implementation. Let’s get back to some real science.

Cal Evans in his Open Teams session gives a perfect example of this when he tells us about a project with an impossible due date. Upon questioning the due date to the marketing department their reply was straight forward: “Because that’s when the brochures are done”. This is an example of the lack of perception around web development and all the issues we need to take into consideration when developing applications.
