RED Method
An observability method that focuses on request Rate, Errors, and Duration for service-oriented workloads.
Observability Context
The RED method summarizes request-driven services through Rate, Errors, and Duration. It creates a common operational view of traffic, failure rate, and latency distribution and can be combined with SLI/SLO definitions for incident triage and capacity trends.
Scope Boundary
RED does not directly describe every form of infrastructure saturation. Resource-oriented analysis often needs a complementary method such as USE.
