When you first start implementing SRE it's a good idea to find early wins. Implementing monitoring of the four golden signals + availability is something I'm experimenting with at the moment to give our SRE team momentum and to pave the way for SLOs and more advanced observability.

In this solo episode I share my experiences, including...

💛 What are the four golden signals?
🦥 Observability in an async processing context
📏 The power of tracking availability
🤷 Why SLOs can be challenging to kick off on day 1
🚪 An invitation to come on the podcast

...and much more.
