Core rule

Error budget equals 1 minus the SLO target; the remaining budget sets change velocity, and an exhausted budget means a feature freeze.

Execution Phases

  1. Phase 01Define SLIs

    Express availability, latency and durability as good-events over total-events ratios in PromQL.

  2. Phase 02Set SLO targets

    Choose targets and windows (e.g. 28 days) from user expectations, business needs, current performance and cost of reliability.

  3. Phase 03Error budget policy

    Compute the budget and set actions at 50%, 10% and 0% remaining: postpone risky changes, freeze non-critical changes, freeze features.

  4. Phase 04Rules, alerts, dashboards

    Write Prometheus recording rules and fast and slow burn-rate alerts, and show compliance, remaining budget and trends in Grafana.
