Problem
Product teams lacked reliable service-level visibility and were reacting to incidents too late.
Constraints
- Metrics needed to be readable by non-platform engineers
- Alerting had to avoid noise during deploy windows
- Compatibility with existing Prometheus stack was mandatory
Solution
Shipped a service-focused metrics layer with SLO rollups, on-call routing, and contextual incident drill-down endpoints.
Impact
- Dropped mean time to detect by 35%
- Improved alert precision and reduced false positives
- Created a shared reliability language across teams
