Service Level Indicator (SLI) - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A service level indicator is a quantitative measure of a service's behavior, such as request success rate, latency, or availability, that an SLO sets a target against.
Good SLIs
A useful SLI tracks something users actually experience, like the fraction of requests served under a latency threshold, rather than an internal metric like CPU usage.
