GPU Serving SLOs and Alert Design — What to Promise and What to Page On
Putting an SLO on a GPU inference service starts with deciding which metric represents the user experience. Time to first token and throughput eat each other, so setting a target on only one guarantees the other collapse

A dashboard is not useful for looking pretty — it earns its keep by answering a fixed set of questions in order. This post covers how to write down the questions a panel should answer before building it, and how to struc

A service whose average response time is 80ms can still keep users waiting three seconds, and that happens all the time. This post explains what the average hides in a long-tail distribution, which question each of p50,

On-call collapses not because there are too few alerts but because there are far too many. This post starts with the mechanism by which alert fatigue makes you miss real incidents, then covers the principle of paging onl
