The RED Method: How To Instrument Your Services

The RED Method defines three key metrics you should measure for every microservice in your architecture. It gives developers a template for instrumenting their services and building dashboards in a consistent, repeatable fashion. We will discuss patterns of application instrumentation, where and when they are applicable, and how they can be implemented with Prometheus. We’ll cover Google’s Four Golden Signals, the RED Method, the USE Method, and Dye Testing. We’ll also discuss why consistency is an important approach for reducing cognitive load, and discuss the limitations of these approaches and what can be done to overcome them.

Thanks for sharing grafanacon videos. I'd like to suggest a different video format: presentation on screen with just a small inset of the presenter in the corner. Going back and forth between the presentaiton slides and the presenter is confusing and not useful.

Honestly, this was so chaotic that you get a grasp of it only if you already have.
