Fastest wins

    All answers

    Detect

    • Pages are tied to SLOs and error-budget burn, not CPU spikes
    • We measure what users feel on key journeys: synthetic checks or real user monitoring
    • Dashboards show data freshness, and we alert when telemetry goes quiet

    Debug

    • Every service dashboard leads with the four golden signals
    • Logs carry trace IDs, so we can jump from a metric to a trace to its logs
    • We tail-sample traces, so slow and failed requests are always kept

    Ship

    • Deploys go out as canaries that roll back on their own
    • Deploys and config changes show up as markers on our graphs
    • Alerts and dashboards live in git and get code review

    Respond

    • Every alert that can page links to a short, tested runbook
    • We alert on container restarts and memory pressure before users notice
    • Incidents have a named lead, a comms channel, and regular status updates

    Sustain

    • Postmortems ask how the system allowed it, not who did it
    • We track pages per shift and fix or delete noisy alerts every week
    • Someone owns telemetry cost: cardinality is guarded and retention set per signal
    • We instrument with OpenTelemetry, so switching backends never means re-instrumenting

    Retake it at to track progress. Answers are encoded in that link; nothing is stored on a server.
