Performance Budgets
Defined thresholds with alerts
Medium
Overview
Define acceptable performance thresholds. Alert when budgets are exceeded.
Why It Matters
Alert when latency/errors exceed thresholds. Catch regressions before users feel them.
The Risk
Without budgets, performance degrades until users complain. No objective way to say 'this is too slow.' Performance becomes subjective and ignored.
Implementation Components
A complete implementation of this capability includes:
- Defined thresholds for key metrics (p95 latency, error rate)
- Automated alerts on budget violations
- Dashboard showing budget compliance
- Historical trending of budget metrics
- Integration with deploy correlation
- Runbooks for budget violations
