By implementing service-level objectives, teams can avoid collecting and checking a huge amount of metrics for each service. 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.

The common way to deal with this is to measure percentiles, and track the 90%, 99% response times for example. For example lets say you have a 99% within 2 seconds SLA, and your current 99%ile measured over one minute is 1 second. There is no way to model how much more traffic you can send to that system before it exceeds it’s SLA.
