By Monitoring Framework

RED (Rate, Errors, Duration)

Request-driven monitoring for services and APIs:

• RED Metrics - Core RED implementation
• AI Agents - AI response time, quality, errors

USE (Utilization, Saturation, Errors)

Infrastructure and resource monitoring:

• USE Metrics - CPU, memory, disk, network

Custom / Business

Business metrics and custom implementations:

• SaaS CRM - User journey and engagement
• AI Agents - Cost efficiency, task completion
• Budgeting Methods - SLO budgeting strategies

By Audience

SRE / Platform

• RED Metrics - Service reliability
• USE Metrics - Infrastructure health

Product

• SaaS CRM - User engagement, retention
• AI Agents - User satisfaction, adoption

Executive

• SaaS CRM - Business outcomes, revenue metrics
• AI Agents - Cost efficiency, ROI

By Use Case

Service Monitoring

Monitor API and microservice health:

// RED metrics for API
slo := redmetrics.ExampleAvailabilitySLO()

Infrastructure Monitoring

Monitor underlying resources:

// USE metrics for CPU
slo := usemetrics.ExampleCPUUtilizationSLO()

User Engagement

Track user activity and stickiness:

// DAU/MAU ratio (stickiness)
slo := saascrm.ExampleDAUMAURatioSLO()

AI/ML Platforms

Monitor AI agent performance:

// AI response quality
slo := aiagents.ExampleAgentResponseQualitySLO()
