Gap: Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
Status: 🔴 Not Started Priority: Moderate (Pre-Dedicated-Mode) Estimated Effort: 2 days
What's Missing
Formal SLA documentation for dedicated-mode / negotiated-contract customers including:
Availability SLAs
- Uptime guarantees (99.5%, 99.9%, 99.95%)
- Downtime credits calculation
- Planned maintenance windows
- Excluded downtime (third-party outages)
Performance SLAs
- API response time guarantees
- Page load time guarantees
- Video call quality guarantees
Support SLAs
- Response time by severity (Critical: 1 hour, High: 4 hours, etc.)
- Resolution time targets
- Support channels (email, phone, chat)
- Business hours vs. 24/7
Data SLAs
- Backup frequency guarantees
- Recovery point objective (RPO)
- Recovery time objective (RTO)
- Data retention guarantees
SLA Monitoring
- How SLAs are measured
- Reporting frequency
- Customer access to SLA metrics
SLA Violations
- Credit calculation
- Credit request process
- Dispute resolution
Why Important
White-label / negotiated-contract customers require formal SLA commitments before signing contracts.
Current State
- SLO targets mentioned in monitoring docs
- No formal SLA documentation
- No credit/violation process
