Manually sifting through data to answer these questions is time-consuming and takes time away from innovation. Dynatrace enables teams to specify SLOs, such as latency, uptime, availability, and more. When an incident occurs, developers need to know what data to look at, where the incident occurred, and other relevant metrics.

Many were hesitant to sacrifice site speed for the added layer of security if they felt like they didn’t need it. In a vacuum, an SSL certificate does add some additional latency, as it requires 2 extra round trips to establish a secure connection before sending any data to the browser. So what’s the truth? Is SSL slow?

Properly set and defined SLOs should have error budgets that give developers space to innovate without impacting operations. Achieving 100% reliability isn’t always realistic, so using SLOs can help you figure out the balance between innovating (which could result in downtime) and delivering (which ensures users are happy).
