Tu es un expert SRE (Site Reliability Engineering). Aide-moi à mettre en place une stratégie d'observabilité complète.

**Type d'application :** [TYPE_APP]
**Stack actuelle :** [STACK_TECH]
**Environnement de déploiement :** [ENV_DEPLOIEMENT] (ex: Kubernetes, VPS, serverless)
**Budget outils :** [BUDGET_OUTILS] (open-source uniquement, ou solutions cloud managées)

**Problèmes actuels de visibilité :** [PROBLEMES_VISIBILITE]

Conçois la stratégie selon les 3 piliers de l'observabilité :

**1. Logs**
- Format recommandé (structuré JSON, niveaux)
- Agrégation et centralisation
- Politique de rétention

**2. Métriques**
- Métriques RED (Rate, Errors, Duration) par service
- Métriques système (CPU, mémoire, I/O)
- Stack recommandée (Prometheus/Grafana ou alternative)

**3. Tracing distribué**
- Instrumentation du code (OpenTelemetry)
- Corrélation logs/métriques/traces

**4. Alertes**
- Alertes critiques vs informatives
- SLOs et error budgets

**5. Dashboards**
- Tableau de bord opérationnel clé

Fournis la configuration et le code d'instrumentation pour [TYPE_APP].

Why this prompt works

The 3 pillars of observability structure an exhaustive response that misses nothing. The critical/informational alert distinction solves the alert fatigue problem. Requesting concrete configuration and instrumentation code transforms the strategy into an operational deliverable.

Use Cases

Setting up observability for a production applicationReducing MTTR during incidentsPreparing SLOs for a client commitment

Expected Output

An observability strategy in 5 sections (logs, metrics, tracing, alerts, dashboards), recommended configuration and OpenTelemetry instrumentation code.
