Analyze advanced SLO challenges including over-reliance on SLOs, gaming metrics, platform team SLOs, dependency chains, and composite SLO design for a 500-service organization.
## Problem
Your organization has been using SLOs for two years. The basics are working — teams have SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets. But new challenges have emerged: some teams game their SLOs, others over-rely on SLOs as the sole measure of service health, platform teams struggle to define meaningful SLOs, and composite SLOs across dependency chains are unreliable. As a staff engineer, analyze these advanced SLO challenges and design solutions for a 500-service organization.
