Inspired by the SRE handbook, we focus on 4 golden signals:
  1. Latency: Time taken to serve a request
  1. Traffic: Number of requests
  1. Errors: Rate of failures
  1. Saturation: Resource usage
Tools like Prometheus + Grafana make it easy to visualize.
Without this, dashboards become noise. Stick to the basics.
