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
