Observability & SRE
Structured logging, metrics, tracing, health checks, and SLO-friendly instrumentation.
Generate Mock CPU and Memory Metrics in Python
Build a mock_host_metrics() generator that outputs realistic CPU and memory usage percentages for monitoring demos and tests.
import time
import random
def mock_host_metrics():
"""Generate mock CPU and memory metrics for a host."""
cpu_percent = round(random.uniform(10.0, 95.0), 1)
memory_percent = round(random.uniform(20.0, 90.0), 1)
memory_used_mb = round(random.uniform(512, 8192), 1)
return {

How to Calculate Apdex Score from Latency Data in Python
Generate simulated latency samples and compute the Apdex score to gauge user satisfaction with an application's performance.
import random
import statistics
def generate_latencies(count=100, base=100, stddev=30):
return [max(0, random.gauss(base, stddev)) for _ in range(count)]
def apdex(latencies, threshold=200):
satisfied = sum(1 for lat in latencies if lat < threshold)
tolerating = sum(1 for lat in latencies if lat >= thres…
