Find and Fill Any Gaps

Once we have telemetry in place, we can identify any gaps in our metrics, especially in the following levels of our application:

  • Business level – These are metrics on business items, such as sales transactions, signups, etc.
  • Application level – This includes metrics such as timing metrics, errors, etc.
  • Infrastructure level – Metrics at this level cover things like databases, OS's, networking, storage, CPU, etc.
  • Client software level – These metrics include data like errors, crashes, timings, etc.
  • Deployment pipeline level – This level includes metrics for data points like test suite status, deployment lead times, frequencies, etc.

Application and Business Metrics

  • Gather telemetry not just for technical bits, but also organizational goals, i.e. things like new users, login events, session lengths, active users, abandoned carts, etc.
  • Have every business metric be actionable. And if they're not actionable, they're "vanity metrics".
  • By radiating these metrics, you enable fast feedback with feature teams to identify what's working and what isn't withi

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
