What is SLA, SLO & SLI and why does it matter

SLA

SLA

Service Level Agreement is the commitment given to the customers in terms of service expected level offering that we can provide to maintain and support your application

SLO

SLO

Service Level Objective is the measurable goal that helps in achieving the business objectives. This metrics help in improving the service quality and defining optimal error budgets, as there are bound to be service failures too. SLOs can be around application availability, response time, throughput etc.

SLI

SLI

Service Level Indicator is a way to measure ‘how we perform’ in real-time for the SLOs.

Incidents like application downtimes are often a huge cost to the business - both from integrity and financial perspective. To reduce the impact and ultimately prevent incidents, it becomes important to track, diagnose and fix the issues that trigger the incidents. SLA/SLO/SLI help in defining how a Drupal development services and support team functions to provide appropriate services.
