Signals & dashboards for production services
Build calm, readable telemetry views that on-call engineers actually open during heat events.
This course anchors observability in pragmatic workflows for Singapore product teams. You will wire golden signals, compose dashboards that survive incident stress, and document annotation habits that keep historical context honest. Labs use sample microservices with deliberate latency spikes so you can rehearse reading graphs under mild time pressure.
What is inside
- Golden signal framing with RED and USE methods
- Dashboard composition patterns that reduce alert fatigue
- Annotation rituals for deploys and experiments
- Synthetic checks paired with real user journeys

“Loved the RED method drills; wished the latency lab had one more failure mode, still worth the commute after work.”Aya · Regional fintech pilot
