API Rate Limiting & Scalability Patterns · Lesson

Alerting and SLOs for API Reliability

Turn logs, metrics, and traces into actionable alerts. Learn to define SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets so you alert on what users actually feel.

From Data to Action

Logs, metrics, and traces tell you what happened. Alerting turns that data into a page when something needs attention. Done well it catches problems early; done poorly it drowns you in noise.

Service Level Indicators

An SLI is a measurable signal of user-facing health, such as:

  • Request success rate
  • P99 latency
  • Availability

Good SLIs reflect what users experience, not internal trivia.
