🚨 Monitoring in 2025: 6 Rules That Saved My Projects

1. Inventory first — list every asset + owner before tools.
2. Business-first metrics — infra → service → $$$ impact.
3. Docs before scripts — flowcharts > bash hacks.
4. Strict RBAC — no more “oops, I deleted prod alerts.”
5. Break it yourself — chaos tests before users do.
6. Assign a curator — one owner = no rot, no fire drills.

📉 Cut 16,000 alerts → 800/day.

🛠 Avoid alert fatigue.

🧠 Build calm, not chaos.
