Service tiering & SLO policy

Published

Platform · Updated Jun 12

Scope

All customer-facing services and the internal services they depend on.

Requirements

Tier 1 services publish a 99.95% availability SLO, page on-call within 5 minutes, and run in two regions.

Compliance

Checked at solution design review and quarterly thereafter by the platform team.

What it is

Standards are the expectations every team builds within: SLO tiers, data residency, logging formats, API conventions. In ArchForge each one has a clear scope and concrete requirements, goes through review before it becomes binding, and is one search away when a team needs it.

Requirements, not essays

Purpose, Scope, Requirements, Compliance, and Exceptions in a template your admins can tailor to your governance model.

Binding once approved

A named reviewer accepts, rejects, or requests changes, so only approved standards are ever published.

Change without confusion

Every save is versioned. Old standards are superseded or deprecated, never silently edited away.
