Summary
Lucas and Luna explore how site reliability engineering teams set and enforce latency Service Level Objectives to prevent slow page loads from driving users away. Using examples from Google Search and e-commerce, they explain why the 99th percentile matters more than the median, how to choose a good latency SLO target, and what to do when you're breaking it. They also discuss the trade-off between latency and cost, and how error budgets apply to performance. This episode is for SREs and developers who want to make their systems feel fast, not just be up. #SRE #LatencySLO #UserExperience #SiteReliabilityEngineering #Performance #ErrorBudget #99thPercentile #GoogleSearch #ECommerce #WebPerformance #Observability #SLO #Latency #DevOps #Reliability #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
