What are low-noise alerts ?

Alerts tuned via SLOs and burn rates to page only on real impact—cutting 80% noise while catching fires.

How do I implement SLO burn-rate alerts?

Pick SLI (e.g., error ratio), set budget, alert on multi-window burn exceeding thresholds. Prometheus rules make it dead simple.

Symptoms noise up; SLOs tie to user pain, ensuring every page matters—no more 3 a.m. wild goose chases.
