End of week. Here's the thing I kept coming back to:

Service Level Objectives (SLOs) are effective when they facilitate discussions between engineers and product managers, rather than just being a compliance tool. This approach helps teams make data-driven decisions about reliability and velocity tradeoffs. To get value from SLOs, teams should review them weekly and use error budgets to drive conversations. This approach encourages collaboration and alignment between engineering and product teams. By doing so, teams can make informed decisions about shipping features and prioritizing reliability.
