Using Error Budgets For Effective Alerting

September 30, 2025

8:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET

If you've ever been woken up by an alert at 3AM only to realize it didn’t matter, you’re not alone. Traditional alerting burns people out and wastes time. Error budgets offer a smarter way to decide what deserves immediate attention and what can wait until morning.

But let’s be real—getting from "we should use error budgets" to actually doing it well isn’t straightforward. Burn rates are messy. Systems are complex. And plugging numbers into formulas doesn’t magically solve alert fatigue.

In this webinar, Alex Hidalgo, author of The Service Level Objectives Book  as well as Field CTO at Nobl9, and Brian Singer for a practical conversation about what actually works when using error budgets to improve alerting.

We will also save time for Q&A and open discussion so you can bring your own questions and examples.

How to set alert thresholds that reflect real user impact
What burn rates are useful, and which ones just add noise
Where most teams get it wrong, and how to avoid the same mistakes
Why “fewer alerts” isn’t the goal. More actionable alerts are
