Site Reliability Engineering: OpenTelemetry Traces & SLO Observability

By Academic Curriculum & Technical Education Board

Curriculum Core Competency

Mastering production observability: configuring OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, Prometheus RED metrics, and establishing 99.99% Service Level Objectives.

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) replaces subjective intuition with mathematical Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and distributed trace propagation.

1. The Three Pillars of Modern Observability

  • Distributed Tracing (OTel): Propagating W3C traceparent headers across microservices to isolate database and network bottlenecks.
  • RED Metrics: Tracking Rate (req/s), Errors (HTTP 5xx rate), and Duration (p99 latency) via Prometheus scrapers.
  • Error Budgeting: Aligning product release velocity with empirical SLO error consumption thresholds.
