Problem

Dashboards looked great but didn't help during incidents because alerts lacked context and actionability.

Solution

Defined practical SLIs/SLOs, tuned Prometheus alerts, and created Grafana dashboards mapped to common failure modes.

Impact

On-call response improved with faster triage and fewer noisy, low-value alerts.
