Stop Guessing, Start Succeeding: How to Get SLOs Right

Service Level Objectives (SLOs) sound simple on paper, but anyone who’s tried to implement them knows the truth: They’re easy to make, but hard to get right.

Datadog and NoBS.tech will tell you what we’ve gotten wrong–so you don’t have to. No theory—just practical advice from engineers who’ve been there.

What To Expect

We’ll cover how to implement SLOs within the Datadog platform that actually work, including:

• Prioritize with Purpose. How to focus on what matters when everything feels important.
• Expectations, The Business, and Heartbreak. Aligning reliability goals with reality.
• SLOs that work for you. Reducing noise and cutting down alert fatigue

Why Should You Watch?

If you want to implement SLOs but don’t know where to start, this session is for you.
