API SLO Definition Basics

Set SLOs that reflect users

Defining API SLOs means picking critical endpoints/flows, setting availability/latency/correctness targets with good SLI queries and percentiles, and aligning alerting/error budgets to user impact.

Pick Flows

Choose key endpoints and user journeys to measure.

Define SLIs

Success rate, p95 latency, correctness; precise queries.

Set Targets

Targets/error budgets per flow; link to burn alerts and policy.

API Basics

APIs let software request data or actions from other systems through defined endpoints and responses.

Comparison

RAM vs Storage

RAM handles what your device is actively working on, while storage keeps apps, files, and system data available over time.

How it works

Global Positioning System

GPS uses timing signals from satellites to calculate a receiver's position on Earth.

What it is

Blockchain

A blockchain is a distributed ledger secured by cryptography and consensus nodes.
