Demystifying SLA, SLO, and SLI: Telemetry vs Logging, Application Log Analysis, and Distributed Tracing
In the world of software development, understanding Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) is crucial for ensuring application performance and reliability. This article explores how telemetry, logging, and distributed tracing work together to meet these goals in the context of microservices architecture. Telemetry provides data for defining and monitoring SLIs, logs aid in debugging and security, while distributed tracing offers end-to-end visibility for diagnosing issues. By effectively using these tools, software teams can consistently meet user expectations, maintain reliability, and ensure optimal performance in their
