With so many of their transactions occurring online, customers are becoming more demanding, expecting websites and applications to always perform perfectly. There are now many more applications, tools, and infrastructure variables that impact an application’s performance and availability. Remember that less is more.

While this empowers teams to frequently deliver new features, the overall business, security, and quality objectives must be maintained.

When organizations implement SLOs, they can improve software development processes and application performance. SLOs can be a great way for DevOps and infrastructure teams to use data and performance expectations to make decisions, such as whether to release and where engineers should focus their time.
