Nobl9: Setting the SLO strike zone for modern app reliability

Nobl9 Intellyx BrainCandy logoAn Intellyx BrainCandy Brief

Nobl9 empowers DevOps teams and SREs to find a happy medium between delivering modern applications that meet or exceed customer reliability needs, without breaking the budget or burning out valuable technical resources.

The startup’s service-level objective (SLO) dashboards allow engineers and managers to track dozens of independent service events, metrics and observability indicators on one side, marrying this data with interactions through collaboration and incident response tools on the other, so Hybrid IT applications reliably perform within an optimized error budget that balances customer satisfaction levels with release speed and organizational costs.

Not all application workloads need to operate at Five 9’s (or 99.999% uptime). It’s well-known that for each decimal place of reliability demanded by a customer SLA, the company’s investments are increased exponentially, and the resulting slowdown in productivity can yield diminishing returns for customers — especially when attempting to fault-proof ephemeral microservices and Kubernetes-based cloud deployments.

Multiple application teams, service providers, and end customers can use Nobl9 to set shared performance expectations, and reach a common understanding of the ideal ‘strike zone’ for SLOs, with delivery and issue resolution goals that can be sustainable for all parties involved.
