Availability

Keeping the system up and correct despite failures — pre-existing folder, already has subtopics started.

Why we need this / what value this brings

Downtime has a direct, measurable cost — knowing your actual availability target keeps engineering effort proportional to real business impact.

When to use this

Define a target before an incident forces you to improvise one.

How to use or implement this

Pick a realistic target (99.9% is a common small-team default), instrument uptime, and only invest further once data shows it's the actual bottleneck.
