Key takeaway
Telemetry quality, alert routing, incident roles, mitigation, and evidence-led recovery. Start with the related games below when you want to turn the definition into practice.
Why this matters
Trustworthy signals and explicit incident command shorten recovery without inventing certainty.
How to practice
Separate telemetry contracts from incident decisions, then prove recovery with user and business outcomes.

Learning objectives
- Assign instrumentation and exporter ownership.
- Keep metric cardinality bounded while preserving trace context.
- Evolve semantic conventions without losing alert continuity.
- Route pages from impact and SLO burn.
- Assign clear incident-command roles.
- Verify recovery beyond infrastructure signals.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Duplicating automatic and manual instrumentation.
- Putting request identity into metric labels.
- Treating incomplete telemetry as conclusive evidence.
- Paging on every raw signal.
- Allowing uncoordinated production changes.
- Closing from one healthy infrastructure metric.
