Problem

Scenario

You are taking ownership of a production API service and want to formalize how reliability is measured and communicated before the next growth phase. Different teams are using uptime, latency, and incident counts inconsistently, and customers are starting to ask what reliability commitments actually mean.

Question

How do you define and use SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs for this service?
