A few years ago, we were paged by our SRE team due to our Metrics Alerting System falling behind — critical application health alerts reached engineers 45 minutes late! Hence, we started down the path of alert evaluation via real-time streaming metrics. This has proven to be valuable towards reducing Mean Time to Recover (MTTR).

However, one metric I feel that front-end developers overlook all too quickly is Time to First Byte (TTFB). The first—and often most surprising for people to learn—thing that I want to draw your attention to is that TTFB counts one whole round trip of latency. Rather, your TTFB represents any number of the items present above.

Observability is made up of three key pillars: metrics, logs, and traces. Metrics are measures of critical system values, such as CPU utilization or average write latency to persistent storage. Observability tools, such as metrics monitoring, log viewers, and tracing applications, are relatively small in scope.
