SRE: Metrics Dashboard in DevOps world

Dashboard for your Service : Observability

Priority levels of each Metric category

1. Traffic : QPS/RPS (requests per second)
2. Errors: % of Traffic (failure), Status Code
3. Latency: Response Time, 50%, 90%, 99% percentile
4. Saturation: CPU % utilization, signal to Auto scaling, send alerts

SRE and Software engineers (SWE) should get access to these Dashboards to observe their Microservices.

Use ServiceMesh tools (Istio, Envoy proxy, LinkerD) to get Metrics & Dashboard out of the Box, without any changes in your Code.

ServiceMesh provides Network Virtual functions and observability.
