Observability Designer
**TL;DR** - Design your observability stack before you need it. Not after.

The 10-Second Pitch

  • Maps your services and generates a complete observability strategy
  • Recommends instrumentation points based on service boundaries
  • Generates alert rules with appropriate SLO thresholds
  • Produces runbooks that trigger from the alerts it generates

Setup in 3 Steps

1. Describe your architecture: services, SLO targets, data flows

2. Review the generated observability plan

3. Apply the instrumentation recommendations

**Example Prompt:**

Design an observability strategy for our e-commerce platform. SLO: 99.9% uptime, p99 checkout latency under 2s.
