Today our SLO dashboards query SLI metrics directly from our existing metrics. We can help simplify and shorten these queries, and likely improve performance by moving to recording rules. At the same time we can begin to settle on a common naming scheme for our SLO related metrics.
Considering these are often 90d+ queries, a strategy to backfill metrics from recording rules would be ideal as well, although let's track that independently and not let it block this work.
