I've never worked at a FAANG, but there is a school of thought that if an error/alert isn't impacting your SLO, you don't care. As they said, it was within the error budget, which means that they could instead focus on d

I'd be interested to hear more voting down microservices. The title didn't actually specify, but I assume you felt it had a positive impact? :) When was this, and how does it look now?
