What you'll practice

The golden signals & observability pillars

Match symptoms to the right signal, and work out which pillar — metrics, logs or traces — answers each question.

Percentiles & SLOs

Build intuition for p50/p95/p99, see why averages lie, and turn latency targets into service-level objectives.

Error budgets & alerting

Compute a simple error budget and dissect the anatomy of an alert that helps instead of waking you for nothing.

Incident response

Walk the incident lifecycle end to end — detect, respond, resolve, learn — with a scenario to test yourself.
