Best Practices

Best Practices

Service Level Objectives (SLOs)

A target reliability level for a service, expressed as a measurable percentage of good events over a window, used to balance reliability against feature velocity.

by Google SRE

Error Budgets

The allowed amount of unreliability derived from an SLO (100% minus the target), spent deliberately to balance new features against reliability work.

by Google SRE

Incident Management Best Practices

A structured process for detecting, coordinating, and resolving outages with clear roles, communication, and severity levels to restore service quickly.

by PagerDuty

Blameless Postmortems

Post-incident reviews focused on systemic causes and learning rather than individual blame, producing concrete action items to prevent recurrence.

by Google SRE

On-Call Best Practices

Sustainable on-call practices covering rotation design, escalation, actionable alerts, runbooks, and workload limits to keep services reliable without burning out engineers.

by PagerDuty

Runbook Automation

Codifying operational procedures as automated, repeatable workflows so common incident responses and maintenance tasks run reliably with less manual toil.

by PagerDuty

Capacity Planning

Forecasting future demand and provisioning resources ahead of need, combining organic growth, launches, and headroom to avoid both outages and waste.

by Google SRE

Toil Reduction

Systematically identifying and eliminating repetitive, manual, automatable operational work so engineers can spend time on durable engineering instead.

by Google SRE

Saga Pattern

A pattern for managing data consistency across microservices using a sequence of local transactions coordinated by events or a central orchestrator, with compensating actions on failure.

by Microsoft

Circuit Breaker Pattern

A resilience pattern that stops calls to a failing dependency once errors cross a threshold, preventing cascading failures and giving the dependency time to recover.

by Martin Fowler

Bulkhead Pattern

A resilience pattern that isolates resources into separate pools so a failure or overload in one part of a system cannot consume the resources others depend on.

by Microsoft

Cell-Based Architecture

An architecture that partitions a system into independent, self-contained cells, each serving a subset of traffic, to limit blast radius and scale through replication.

by Amazon Web Services

Idempotency Keys

A pattern where clients send a unique key with unsafe requests so the server can safely retry without applying the same operation twice, preventing duplicate charges or records.

by Stripe

API Rate Limiting

Controlling how many requests a client can make in a time window to protect API capacity, ensure fair use, and defend against abuse, using algorithms like token bucket.

by IETF

Webhook Best Practices

Guidance for sending and receiving reliable webhooks: signature verification, idempotent handlers, retries with backoff, and fast acknowledgement of events.

╭──────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ Top Priority Actions │

1. Upgrade EOL runtime in node-turborepo
End-of-life runtimes no longer receive security patches and block ecosystem upgrades.
./.
>=18.0.0 → 24.0.0 (6 majors behind)
Impact: −10 drift points (runtime & EOL)
 
2. Fix security posture: no lockfile found
Without a lockfile, installs are non-deterministic. Run the install command to generate one and commit it.
./
Missing: package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or yarn.lock
 
3. Upgrade Vitest 1.6.1 → 5.0.5 in @repo/api (+2 more)
4 major versions behind. Major framework drift increases breaking change risk and blocks access to security fixes and performance improvements.
./apps/api
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 5.0.5 (4 majors behind)
./packages/utils
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 5.0.5 (4 majors behind)
./apps/admin
Vite: 5.4.21 → 8.3.4 (3 majors behind)
Impact: −5–15 drift points
 
4. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/types (100% severely outdated)
1 of 1 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/types
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
 
5. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/database (75% severely outdated)
3 of 4 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/database
@prisma/client: 5.22.0 → 7.10.1 (2 majors behind)
prisma: 5.22.0 → 7.10.1 (2 majors behind)
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
