Burn Rate - CI/CD Glossary Definition
Burn rate is the speed at which you are consuming your error budget; a high burn rate is an early warning that an SLO is at risk.
Burn rate measures how fast an error budget is being consumed relative to the SLO window. A burn rate of 1 spends the budget exactly over the window; higher rates trigger alerts.
