Scenario

You are the engineering manager for a digital product platform that supports customer sign-in, order placement, and content delivery across web and mobile. Leadership wants a clear view of operational health, but the team currently reports a mix of uptime, error counts, and incident notes without a shared framework. You need to define the metrics that best reflect reliability, user impact, and early warning signals.

Question

What metrics do you use to evaluate the operational health and reliability of your systems?
