The Challenge: Alerting That Works
Users report outages to support before your team knows. Alerts exist but nobody trusts them — too many false pages and too many silent failures.
Core questions to address:
- What's the minimum set of signals you'd collect, and how do they map to user impact?
- What alert design makes alerts trustworthy (few false positives, fast true positives)?
- What else beyond metrics does an incident response need?
