Use case for alerts It's like getting an alert when you have low maintaining balance in your bank. You can set an alert when it is below 1000, below 500 and below 100. Where you might treat the first 2 as warning, but when you are alerted that it is below 100, you might wanna act. So for our case, maybe something like: Degradation is 1% -> send email to developers (as a WARNING) Degradation is 10% -> send email to technical leads (as a WARNING) Degradation is 20% -> send email to stakeholders / business people in charge of the feature (to make a DECISION)
