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

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
