Metrics & Dashboards

Metrics are numbers that tell the health story: requests/second, error rate %, P50/P95/P99 latency, cost per request. Track them over time. Plot them on dashboards. Set baselines: "normal is 500ms P95, 0.1% error rate, $0.05/request". When metrics deviate, investigate. Dashboard rule: 5-second glance should reveal system health. Red = bad, green = good, yellow = investigate. No clutter.

Dashboard Design Principles

Single pane of glass: All critical metrics visible without scrolling. Red/yellow/green:Color code health instantly. Percentiles over averages: P95 reveals tail latency; average hides it.Compare to baseline: Show current vs. normal. Drill-down enabled: Click metric → see logs/traces. If dashboard doesn't reveal problems in 5 seconds, redesign it.
