The blog provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on automating SRE-driven performance engineering using Dynatrace and Keptn, with a focus on leveraging Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) to enhance quality gates in the progressive delivery process. It outlines the process of monitoring test environments, deploying applications, tagging services, and integrating load testing tools to capture detailed test context data, which is then used for multidimensional analysis and performance insights. The guide emphasizes creating calculated service metrics and SLI-based performance dashboards to facilitate targeted diagnostics and comparisons between test runs, ultimately automating SLI validation through Keptn for improved regression detection and SLO compliance. Additionally, it introduces Dynatrace's ACE Services as a resource for organizations seeking to implement automated quality gates and shift-left practices into their CI/CD workflows.
