Talk Abstract:
Stop Making Reliability Decisions in the Dark: A Practical Introduction to SLOs - Enrique Kortright (Principal Architect, Curriculum at Elastic)Is the service slow, or is it broken? Should the team slow down and invest in reliability, or is there room to keep shipping? These decisions happen every day in engineering teams — and in most teams, they're made on instinct, on whoever argues loudest in the incident call, or on a dashboard that shows green when things are quietly getting worse.
Service Level Objectives — SLOs — are how engineering teams replace instinct with a number everyone agreed on in advance. In this session we'll cover what SLOs actually are and how they differ from SLAs (which most people have heard of but often conflate), how to read an SLO dashboard and understand the reliability story it's telling, and how burn rate turns a static snapshot into a decision-making signal — telling you not just where your service stands, but where it's heading and how fast.
We'll walk through a real example in Elastic's Observability platform, following a checkout service through degradation, breach, and recovery — and showing how the SLO caught a problem that a traditional monitor would have missed entirely.
No prior SLO experience required. If you run services in production and care about reliability, this session is built for you.
