Closed, ResolvedPublic5 Estimated Story Points

Description

Finalize the list of Search platform SLOs in order to have agreed upon standards for the performance of the search services. This will help ensure minimum quality of the search experience for users, as well as help free up engineering time from non-essential operational work.

Summary of the chosen SLOs:
Latency

  • Special:Search latency
    • The amount of time it takes to return search results for a query. This includes all extra search features:
      • sister search
      • did you mean
  • MediaSearch latency
    • The amount of time it takes MediaSearch to return media results
  • Autocomplete latency
    • The amount of time it takes to return article suggestions based on autocompleted strings in the search bar
  • Search preview latency
    • The amount of time it takes for the search preview and its elements to respond to user actions
  • Nice to have: Bot latency
    • What is a reasonable amount of latency for bots? What is the best way to measure this?

Updates

  • Search update lag
    • The amount of time it takes updates/edits to wikis to reflected in search results – i.e. how long do I have to wait before I can search for something I just changed?

@Gehel , I think we are happy with this final list, and can probably close this ticket. The next phase of this work should be figuring out what quantitative goals we have, and what instrumentation needs to be built
