Critical SLOs: {{slo_targets}}
Expected scale: {{scale_expectations}}
Compliance: {{compliance_requirements}}

Provide blueprint for:

2. Logging strategy (structured logs, log levels, retention)
3. Distributed tracing (trace sampling, context propagation)
4. Alert rules (threshold definitions, escalation)
